The health department is reviewing community health initiatives for the year. During the summer, the health department focuses infection control activities on which program?
A) administering influenza immunizations
B) administering free antibiotics
C) using pesticides for mosquitoes
D) delivering fans to older adult residents
Ans: C
Feedback:
Community problems such as water supply contaminated with sewage or tick infestations near residential areas also can result in infection. Influenza immunization is concentrated in the fall and winter. Antibiotic administration is not a prevention program but one geared to disease treatment. Fans may be delivered to older adults but this intervention will not reduce infection.
