<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>

What evidence shows that white dwarfs must be very small?
Drupady [299]

Spectral analysis proposes that there is no hydrogen fusion roughly speaking. They are hot since they are very thick. So if you are a convinced high density and temperature and still not doing synthesis, you must be small. Also, stellar evolution models are founded on the observation of planetary nebulae, where stars have shed most of their mass after being red giants. The physics designates a small, hot, central remainder.
