wash your hands
viruses
fungi

question 5

which of the following is a bacterial disease?

influenza
severe acute respiratory syndrome
the common cold
scarlet fever

Explanation:

Analyze prevention of communicable disease

• Communicable diseases are spread from person to person through pathogens.
• Washing hands physically removes pathogens (bacteria, viruses) from the skin, breaking the chain of transmission.
• "viruses" and "fungi" are types of pathogens, not prevention methods.
• "get enough sleep" supports general immunity but does not directly prevent the physical spread of a communicable disease as effectively as handwashing.

Identify the bacterial disease

• Influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and the common cold are all caused by viruses (influenza virus, coronavirus, and rhinovirus/coronavirus respectively).
• Scarlet fever is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus).

Answer:

Question 1

• wash your hands (Correct answer)
• viruses
• fungi
• get enough sleep

Question 2

• influenza
• severe acute respiratory syndrome
• the common cold
• scarlet fever (Correct answer)
