why is it harder to determine exposure to airborne transmitted diseases than exposure to bloodborne transmitted diseases?

Blood borne transmitted diseases can be easily traced back to its sources as they need a physical medium to transfer which we can measure, calculate, contain and treat while air borne transmitted diseases lack this feature. The microorganism do not need a physical medium to transfer from one host to another making it difficult to contain the virus.

The reason for this is that we can trace bloodbourne diseases back to a direct source, we an collect samples, and identify an approximate, if not exact, number of people infected. The problem with airbourne disease is that air doesn't stop moving. We can't measure the exact number of people who inhaled the specific portion of infected air, who then breathe it in another location, and may transmit more of the pathogens in that area.

Put simply, bloodbourne pathogens are more confined, spread less quickly, and are easier to track than airbourne ones.

Dave is riding on a straight path. After 5 s, his speed is 3.0 m/s. After 7 s, his speed is 5.0 m/s. After 10 s, his speed is 7.

In this given problem, to solve for the acceleration we have to assume that the acceleration is constant. This assumption helps us understand that the velocity of Dave follows a linear increase and hence we can use the formula below for calculating the acceleration:

a= (Vf – Vi) / t

where

Vf = final velocity = 7.0 m / s

Vi = intial velocity = 3.0 m / s

t = time elapsed = 10 s – 5 s = 5 s

Substituting the known values into the equation:

a = (7.0 m / s – 3.0 m / s) / 5 s

a = 0.8 m / s^2

Answer:

D. 0.8 m/s2

Which of the following is true about patient-centered care?

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

A. Empowers the patient

Explanation:

Patient-centered care is a type of medical care that takes into consideration the needs, decisions, and values of the patient. The family is equally catered for and given consideration during the period of care. The patients should be properly briefed of all the treatment plans needed for their care. Medical terms that might seem difficult to comprehend should be explained and the implications of the diagnosis described. While this is done, the patient's emotional and physical needs should not be left unattended.

So, in all, patient-centered care empowers the patient and makes him the focus of the care.

Compare and contrast retinal disparity and convergence depth cues.

Lapatulllka [165]

Depth perception is the ability to see the world in 3 dimensions and by doing so to be able to estimate the distance between objects.
Retinal disparity is defined as the way that your left eye and your right eye view slightly different images. 
Convergence refers to the eyes' disposition to rotate inward toward each other in a coordinated manner in order to focus effectively on nearby objects. 

Disparity and convergence are the two important things that help us to judge distance. When looking at a close-up object, your eyes angle inwards towards each other (you become slightly cross-eyed). The extra effort used by the muscles on the outside of each eye gives a clue to the brain about how far away the object is. This is convergence.
