How will Chloe determine if she was potentially exposed to a communicable disease?
Radda [10]

To determine if a person is potentially exposed to a communicable disease, one should be familiar with the case of the patient. By then she can determine how the disease will be transmitted by knowing the portal of entry of the infectious agent and its mode of transmission from reservoir to a susceptible host by direct or indirect contact.

Moreover, a health professional must be immunized against infectious disease to lessen the chance of susceptibility of communicable diseases.

Vitamin deficiency in the United States is not common. However, inadequate gastric acid secretion secondary to gastric resection
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

c. Vitamin B12 deficiency

Explanation:

Vitamin B12 deficiency is the cause of many diseases, from anemia to thrombosis. This deficiency is not common in the US, however, it is easily caused by inadequate gastric acid secretion secondary to gastric resection, use of drugs that suppress gastric acid, or gastric infection by Helicobacter pylori.

Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, integrity and maturation. In their absence, they increase in volume. In the bone marrow - where they are produced - the number of cells increases so much that the appearance simulates that of leukemias.

It is a necessary vitamin for the development and maintenance of nervous system functions. Without it, the myelin that covers the nerves (as the protective cap does with the electrical wires) suffers wear that is called demyelination, a process that occurs in both peripheral nerve neurons and those in the white matter of the brain.

The main source of B12 is in animal foods. But to absorb it, the digestive tract depends on intrinsic factors present in a special group of stomach cells (parietal cells) and receptors located in the ileum.

he Food Safety Modernization Act was signed into law by President Barack Obama on January 4, 2011.

The law grants the FDA a number of new powers, including mandatory recall authority, which the agency has sought for many years. The FSMA requires the FDA to undertake more than a dozen rulemakings and issue at least 10 guidance documents, as well as a host of reports, plans, strategies, standards, notices, and other tasks.
