cleanliness
Removal of impurities and harmful agents to promote health and safety, and usually refers to the environment. does not indicate a specific level of cleanliness
Sanitation
Occurs when the trachea is blocked, and affected person cannot breathe
Choking
The cause of origin of disease
Etiology
The first link. biologic agents capable of causing infections
pathogens
Have an insidious onset, gradual increase in signs and symptoms and last for a longer time, perhaps a lifetime
Chronic diseases
Destruction of all microorganisms, pathogenic and nonpathogenic and can be achieved through heat chemicals, radiation, high pressure and other means
Sterilization
Abnormally low blood glucose levels, usually below 70 mg/dL.
Hypoglycemia
A disease with unknown causes or origins
Idiopathic
The second link. the person or environment where pathogens live and reproduce or depend on for its survival
Reservoir
Is distributed throughout the body
Systemic disease
Use of chemicals to destroy pathogens and may include heat. kills most bacterial spores
Disinfection
Sudden disruption in cerebral blood flow from an occluded or ruptured blood vessel leading to irreversible brain damage or in some cases, death
Stroke
Describes the absence of symptoms
Asymptomatic
The third link. is the pathway pathogens use to leave a reservoir

Heart attack
Are subjective and apparent only to the individual and include headache, back pain, nausea, fatigue and anxiety
Symptoms
The fourth link. The transfer of pathogens by contact (indirect or direct) through vehicles, such as food or water, or by vectors such as insect or animals just spread pathogen between two or more hosts
Mode of transmission
Occur suddenly, persist for a brief time, and then resolve or in some cases cause death
Acute diseases
Minimum infection control practices to prevent occupational transmission of disease
Standard precautions
Episodes of uncontrolled and excessive electrical activity to the brain, resulting in a sudden change of behavior and level of consciousness
Seizures
Involves departure from state of physiologic or psychologic wellbeing
Morbidity
The fifth link. and is the root pathogens use to enter a new host after transmission has occurred
Portal of entry
Epidemics that spread across many regions, often worldwide
Pandemics
