What is an example of an illness that requires droplet precautions? Influenza Measles Hepatitis Tuberculosis 2. Which of the following statements is accurate about standard precautions? Standard precautions are based on the principle that all blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and non-intact skin are potentially infectious. Standard precautions only include handwashing. If more precautions are needed, the appropriate transmission-based precaution should be implemented. Standard precautions do not require the use of masks or face shields. Standard precautions are only for use with persons who have been identified as high risk for infection or who are currently infected. 3. Which of the following statements is accurate about airborne transmission? A person must have direct contact with the infected person. Pathogens transmitted by airborne transmission can travel short distances. Tuberculosis is the only disease transmitted through airborne transmission. A person does not have to have face-to-face contact with an infected person.

A measles epidemic occurred in a small community. It was found that the index case was a young girl who had recently traveled outside of the country, during which time she acquired an infection. Upon her return to school, she spread the disease to her classmates who were susceptible to measles. Her classmates then spread the disease to susceptible members of their family and friends. The situation is best described as a propagated epidemic.
