Criteria for defining cases of different disease are essential for having a uniform, standar-dized method of reporting and monitoring diseases. Case definitions may include:
 
  1. The precise point of contact
  2. Laboratory confirmation
  3. Source of contamination
  4. Clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and epidemiologic criteria.

Question 2

The rising incidence of traumatic head injury seen in shaken baby syndrome alerts the community nurse to focus on:
 
  1. Taking at-risk babies out of a violent household
  2. Placing babies under the care of community health nurses
  3. Attachment and competence when working with the parents of neonates and tod-dlers
  4. Helping those affected seek proper legal representation
