Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
The epidemiological triangle includes the agent (pathogen), host (people who are susceptible and become ill), and environment (the geographic area where people became ill). These three areas allow for an explanation of disease. Explanation of the health care system in the community, review of the methods by which disease can spread, and substances that are effective in sanitizing are not part of examining the epidemiological triangle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, E, F
Knowles suggests all learners want to know why they need to learn material. Material related to previous life experiences, current developmental tasks, or dealing with current challenges is useful and accepted by adult learners. Material chosen by professionals based on what might happen in the future or that ignores barriers such as lack of resources or low self-esteem will not be retained. Active participation through discussion with others helps involve and motivate adult learners.
