What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<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 is the best example of how the nervous system maintains homeostasis?
Blizzard [7]
I'm not sure if it's the "best" example but.

If your blood tempature is low, the hypothalamus will issues reflex commands that make your body shiver. If you are hot, you will sweat is the opposite of this.

Another example is, if your blood contains pyrokines then you might have an infection so you begin to run a fever as your body's way to kill the pathogen at the direction of the hypothalamus.

Hope these examples help!
