Levels of Prevention
preventing a disease or disorder before it happens
What is primary prevention?
is the habitat in which an infections agent grows and lives on which it depends for its survival nature
What is reservoir?
individual who has been infected and harbors others for some time , even if the person have recover from the disease
What is active carrier?
immediate transfer of an infectious agent from one person to another
What is direct transmission?
incubation period or life expectancy of the host
What is time?
does not require behavior change from the individual
What is passive primary prevention?
pathogen enters the body
What is portal of entry?
individual who has been exposed and harbors a pathogen, but has not become sick or symptoms
What is healthy carrier?
droplets or dust particles carry the pathogen to the host and cause infection
what is airborne transmission?
the cause of the diseases
what is agent?
requires behavior change from the individual
What is active primary prevention?
different ways in which disease is transferred
what is modes of disease transmission?
individual who harbors a pathogen during the recovery phase but still can be infectious
What is convalescent carrier?
an arthropod gives the infectious agent
what is vector-borne transmission?
an animal or human that harbors the disease
what is host?
limit disability by providing rehabilitation where injury, disease, and disorder has occurred and caused damage
What is tertiary prevention?
disease that happens when the pathogen leaves the reservoir through a portal
What is portal of exit?
individual who has been exposed and harbors a pathogen and can spread the disease in different places and intervals
What is intermittent carrier?
inanimate object that gives an infectious agent to a host
what is vehicle-borne transmission?
the surroundings and conditions external to the human that cause disease transmission
what is environment?
health screening and detection activities used to identify disease
What is secondary prevention?
is human or animal that is susceptible to the disease
what is the host?
individual who has been exposed and harbors a pathogen, at the beginning stages of the disease by displaying symptoms, and has the ability to transmit the disease
What is incubatory carrier?
an agent is carried or transferred by a intermediate item resulting in disease
What is direct transmission?
organism such as bacteria, fungi, mold , and viruses that is capable of producing disease
what is pathogen?
