Answer to Question 1

Preventative measures can cut down on the number and types of diseases spread as well as the number of people affected. Proper hand washing and diaper changing, sanitary cleaning practices, excluding ill children and staff, requiring immunizations, performing quick daily health checks, having adequate air circulation, and tracking water tables and play-dough for risks are all healthy practices for the early childhood education environment.

Answer to Question 2

The four mechanisms are blood, respiratory tract, fecal oral, and direct contact. See Table 12.2 for specific diseases.
