Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Health care providers are at particular risk for developing and spreading communicable diseases. U.S. recommendations include implementing safe work practices such as not recapping needles. Wearing gloves, having the client wash hands, and wearing a mask will not necessarily reduce the risk of spreading communicable diseases.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Sanitation and disposal of both human and animal feces are factors in the environment that affect the development of communicable diseases, particularly hepatitis A, tetanus, and polio. Crowded living conditions enhance the spread of tuberculosis. Poor environmental sanitation contributes to the incidence of poliomyelitis and hepatitis E. Overcrowded conditions contribute to the incidence of polio, diphtheria, and varicella. Plague is spread by insect or animal bites. Botulism is spread by contaminated food and water.
