Question

As we discuss the role of the community health nurse in disease prevention, the nurse can use several methods. The interventions must be personalized to each specific disease type. One general method of decreasing the rate of communicable disease is initiating efforts to increase vaccination rates in the community when appropriate. Having a vaccinated community breaks the infection chain by eliminating a susceptible host. If attempting to prevent a respiratory illness, masking is effective in the prevention barrier between the portal of exit and transmission.
