Question

question 15 of 20
match each controllable disease with a strategy for avoiding it.
cold ? handwashing
aids ? avoidance of iv drugs
measles ? vaccination

Explanation:

• Cold: Colds are often spread through contact with germs on surfaces or via respiratory droplets. Handwashing helps remove these germs, reducing the chance of infection.
• AIDS: HIV (which causes AIDS) can be transmitted through shared needles used in IV drug use. Avoiding IV drugs (and using clean needles if unavoidable) reduces this transmission route.
• Measles: Measles is a vaccine - preventable disease. Vaccination (like the MMR vaccine) is highly effective in preventing measles infection.

Answer:

• Cold - Handwashing
• AIDS - Avoidance of IV drugs
• Measles - Vaccination
