lesson 2: \preventing infectious\ : in your own words list 4 examples of how infectious diseases can be transmitted. include 2 direct ways & 2 indirect ways. your answer

Explanation:

Direct transmission occurs through physical contact. For example, touching an infected person (like shaking hands with someone who has a cold) or through sexual contact (as in some sexually - transmitted diseases). Indirect transmission can happen via contaminated objects. For instance, using a contaminated needle (which can transmit diseases like HIV if the needle was used on an infected person before) or through airborne droplets that land on surfaces and are then touched (e.g., a cough droplet on a doorknob that is later touched by another person).

Answer:

• Direct ways: Physical contact (e.g., hand - shaking with an infected person), sexual contact.
• Indirect ways: Using contaminated needles, touching surfaces with infectious droplets (e.g., on a doorknob).
