Informatics is essential to the mission of protecting the public's health. There are several types of surveillance systems used today. A nurse practitioner reports a case of gonorrhea to the local health department.
 
  The type of surveillance system being used is:
  1. Active
  2. Passive
  3. Sentinel
  4. Special

Question 2

Each state has notifiable diseases mandated by law or regulation. State requirements differ in that not all nationally notifiable diseases are legally mandated for reporting in a state. What does each state do with the information it receives?
 
  1. Keeps its own records for surveillance purposes.
  2. Reports the information to the local branch of the World Health Organization.
  3. Transmits the data electronically, weekly, to the CDC.
  4. There is no need to do anything with the information.
