Question

which element in the chain of infection would the nurse recall when caring for a patient who has a respiratory infection? select all that apply. one, some, or all responses may be correct. susceptible host infectious agent vaccine schedule clean surrounding source of pathogen growth

Explanation:

The chain of infection includes elements such as the infectious agent (the pathogen causing the infection), the source of pathogen growth (reservoir), and the susceptible host (person at - risk of infection). A vaccine schedule is related to prevention but not part of the chain of infection elements. A clean surrounding is a preventive measure, not an element of the chain of infection.

Answer:

A. Susceptible host
B. Infectious agent
E. Source of pathogen growth
