you for all the information. I agree with you and one way to break the chain of infection is
by primary prevention.At any point, we can break the chain to infection and stop it from
spreading to others, the sooner the better. According to WestOne, the best ways to break
the link is; “preventative treatment – for those who may be exposed, rapid identification,
prompt treatment – for those infected, good health and hygiene, environmental sanitation,
disinfection/sterilization, hand hygiene, control of excretions and secretions, appropriate
disposal of trash and waste, proper food handling, isolation procedures, airflow control,
proper wound care, catheter care, aseptic technique, treatment of primary disease,
recognizing high risk clients” (WestOne, 2013).Prevention is a big component but so is
educating our patients. Education can include early detection of flu/infection, proper hand
washing technique are just to name a few. Professor CReply2Hi Maria,You are right that the
increasing population in the community contributes to the rapid spread of infectious
diseases such as COVID. For example, I live in Southern California and there are so many
COVID cases in Los Angeles because of all the people living there in such close proximity.
Also, being near a major international airport, LAX, is a contributing factor because of the
exposure of the disease from travelers. Controlling COVID will be difficult in Los Angeles
unless people are compliant with social distancing and lockdown orders. Thanks for

paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When

read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
