CHOICE
1. Which infection continues to increase in the United States?
a. Measles
b. Pertussis
c. Hepatitis A, B, and C
d. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
ANS: D
Treatable STDs, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, are still occurring
at significant rates. Gonorrhea had plateaued or declined until 2009 but
increased steadily since that time. Chlamydia, the most commonly reported
bacterial disease in the United States, reached 1,441,789 cases in 2014, although
some of this increase is thought to be the result of improved screening for the
infection,

2. Which best describes what is happening with infectious diseases in the United
States?
a. There is a continuing decrease in vector-borne infections.
b. There is a continuing increase in food-borne and waterborne infections.
c. Many airborne diseases are being spread by bioterrorists.
d. The rate of infection varies extensively by income and ethnic groups.
ANS: NURSINGTB.COM
D
Probably one of the most profound failures in infectious disease control in the
United States and elsewhere is that the successes are not equally distributed in
the general population.
Infectious diseases continue to be differentially distributed by income and
ethnic groups, and the poor and minorities continue to experience the greater
burden. There continues to be an increase in vector-borne infections, but there
has been a decrease in food-borne and waterborne infections. There is concern
that deadly pathogens will be weaponized by terrorists.

3. Which is a fairly recent surprise regarding infectious diseases in the United
States?
a. Cervical cancer and coronary artery disease may be caused by infectious
agents.
b. Epidemics such as the H1N1 flu continue to occur.
c. Mortality caused by infectious diseases continues to rise.

d. Some infectious diseases remain endemic in our society.
ANS: A

, Community Public Health Nursing 7th Edition Nies Test Bank
Recent scientific discoveries on the infectious etiology of stomach ulcers,
coronary artery disease, and cervical cancer, for example, suggest that
infectious agents may be responsible for more morbidity and mortality than
previously recognized. Mortality caused by infectious diseases has decreased.
Endemic refers to a disease that is regularly found among people in a certain
area. In our society today, there are no endemic infectious diseases. Advances
in public health and health care have made it easier to control infectious
diseases such as H1N1 flu.

4. A female client develops a fungal vaginal infection after being treated with
antibiotics for strep throat. Which component of the epidemiological triangle
is primarily responsible?
a. Agent
b. Environment
c. Host
d. Interaction of agent and environment
ANS: C
Infectious diseases are the result of interaction among the human host, an
infectious agent, and the environment, which surrounds the human host and
where transmission is occurring. This interaction is pictured in the
epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment also discussed in
Chapter 5. The antibiotic therapy eliminated a specific pathological agent, but
it also may alter the balance of normally occurring organisms in the woman’s
body, which caused a change in the vaginal environment, allowing normally
present fungi to proliferate, resulting in a yeast infection.

5. Which statement is true concerning tuberculosis (TB) infections in the United
States?
a. Subclinical cases of TB can occur in patients who fight off the
infection and thus are not a danger to themselves or others.
b. TB can be cured by a 6-month period of treatment with INH.
c. TB can only be caused by the Mycobacterium bovis bacillus.
d. Under certain conditions, susceptible hosts may be infected by the TB bacillus.
ANS: D
The principle of multicausation emphasizes that an infectious agent alone is not
sufficient to cause disease; the agent must be transmitted within a conducive
environment to a susceptible host. Mycobacterium tuberculosis kills cells. M.
tuberculosis has low infectivity, low pathogenicity, but high virulence if
untreated.
