2.2 Describe how to make an individual aware of the effects of poor hygiene on others? The best way is to discuss with them a story in the news which is about a how a virus or disease and how easily they are spread for example start by saying how bad the Ebola virus is and the poor people in west Africa and then talk about how easily it has been contracted and how much people have to protect themselves from it, maybe then mention how bad it would be if something like that breaks out over here. 2.3 Describe how to support an individual to develop and improve personal hygiene routines?

In the future, they must learn to proactively address critical needs. As the damages of Katrina unfolded, vital issues such as preservation of water supply and food safety were overlooked. This resulted in pollution of the water and even greater health and sanitation issues. Shelters were over-crowded and volunteers even became an issue. All of these flaws in their practices serve as input to their lessons learned and how to better plan for these types of natural disasters.
His findings with sex chromosomes and about males being XY and females being XX allow us to learn about so many things. He made it possible to discover, understand and learn about sex-linked traits and sex-linked abnormalities. Not only this but the books he has written, like An Introduction to General Biology, The Embryology of the Earthworm, Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis, and The Cell in Development and Inheritance, can help us expand our knowledge of the things he has studied. Luckily for us, Wilson made many contributions that help further study of DNA. Perhaps because of his studies, one day we may be able to expand much further on his ideas and make even more discoveries to help us in the
For the first time ever, the World Health Organization is dedicated to defending against outbreaks of disease through improving health security around the nation (“World Health Organization”). Knowing that the Second World War took a heavy toll on the nation’s military force, it’s great to hear all the programs my men, including me have access to.

Also to inform individual what he/she can do to obtain the proper care from health care facilities and how he/she is better equipped to handle a deadly virus.
In eradicating smallpox, strategies such as ring vaccination and herd immunity were implemented, preventing each outbreak from spreading. Government policies such as mandatory vaccinations and strict quarantine contributed greatly to the success of vaccination programs against smallpox. By 1975, smallpox had been eradicated with the exception of Africa. An intensive containment and vaccination program was employed and was successful with global eradication of smallpox being declared by the World Health Assembly in 1980. Diphtheria, an infectious disease communicable through coughing and sneezing, is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
_If I were the assistant in question in this scenario, the ethical school of thought I would subscribe to would be the Virtue Ethics school of thought. The Virtue Ethics school of thought focuses on practical wisdom as well as moral character to solve these types of ethical issues. In this case, the patient does pose a certain risk to the healthcare providers since he does carry the AIDS virus, but practical wisdom tells me that, through the use of proper PPE and using caution and awareness, this risk is minimal and can be virtually eliminated altogether. On the other hand, if treatment were to be refused to this patient based on this slight and avoidable risk, the repercussions of that refusal would be much greater and more profound on my life and career than the risk of contracting AIDS through this procedure would be. Through this school of thought, the solution to the problem becomes obvious and I would continue to treat the patient while protecting myself with the use of gloves and other PPE as appropriate to the procedure.
Disease Yersinia pestis The Plague Jesus Urquijo Biology 113 Lab March 18, 2013 Microbes are what make the world what it is today. They are found in nearly every environment on earth. Each species has its own way of getting nutrients and adapting to its environment, such as pH, aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and enzymes that are essential for optimum living. The majority of bacteria living on earth are harmless if not beneficial to the human race, but those few microbes that are harmful to humans are those that cause disease. They are referred to as pathogens and need to be observed so we can prevent the spreading of disease caused by those particular microbes.
People in close contact of the patient are inspected, traced, and identified. To prevent the plagues you can try to attempt to eliminate fleas and wild rodents from their environment but that is impossible. However controlling the rodents and fleas around places where people live, work, and play is very important to prevent human diseases.
