51. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE on the levels of prevention?I. Primary prevention occurs before the pathological onset of disease. Its aim is to block the start ofdisease.II. Secondary prevention takes place from the pathological onset of disease to the occurrence of clinicalsymptoms. It aims is to delay the onset and duration of symptomatic disease and improve survival.III. Tertiary prevention takes place after clinical symptoms develop. Its aim is to slow or block theprogression of disease and therefore reduce disease sequelae and improve survival.IV.

Pathogen name: 2.Disease name: 3. Kingdom to which pathogen belongs: 4.Reservoirs: 5.Susceptible host: 6. Mode of Transmission: 7. Portal of Entry: 8. Pathology of the infection: 9. Portal of Exit: 10. Interventions that can break the chain of infection:
1. Differentiate the three (3) components of Epidemiological Triad a. Agent b. Host c. Environment
Explain what is meant by systemic infection and localised infection giving examples from practice of both terms
b). Explain the significance of host-agent-environment in disease causation using SARS-CoV-2 infection as an example. (ii) How may the concept of natural history of disease pathogenesis provide an understanding of the difference between prevention and control of disease.d) As the Public Health Officer charged with the prevention and control of communicable diseases in the Local Council Area, state the principles you may consider in planning an action to prevent community transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have initiated revised policies regarding reimbursement to hospitals for care of patients who suffer health care-associated infections (HAIs) such as SSIs. Hospitals must bear the costs of treatment. Health care workers are the key in preventing patient injury and protecting hospitals. Which set of measures are used in addition to Standard Precautions when the disease status of a surgical patient has been determined in advance?
1. Describe the theory of ‘fundamental causes of disease.” 2. Apply this theory to 1.) the epidemiology of Chagas disease, and 2.) discuss how this would frame your preferred intervention for vector control.
