Which disease is transmitted by direct or indirect contact droplet or airborne secretion of infected person?
Mostly through coughs and sneezes. The flu and the common cold are two examples of Infectious Diseases that are transmitted on respiratory droplets usually through coughs and sneezes. A person who coughs or sneezes has respiratory droplets ejected that can contain the viruses that cause the cold and flu. Stay a distance of a 6 foot diameter if possible from anyone with cold or flu symptoms. That is about how far the droplets can shoot from a sneeze, but they are heavier than air, so they drop to the floor within that typical 6 foot circle and they are not actually airborne in the medical sense of the word.

Luis fails to perform hand hygiene after caring for Nicole who has MRSA. He then moves on to care for Theodore who then contracts MRSA. What method of transmission does this represent?

What is a condition transmitted by direct or indirect contact?
A condition transmitted by direct or indirect contact is often referred to as a communicable disease. Examples include influenza, which can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes (direct contact), and norovirus, which can be transmitted through contaminated surfaces or food (indirect contact). Effective hygiene practices, such as handwashing and sanitizing surfaces, are crucial for preventing the spread of these conditions.

Is pharyngeal diphtheria airborne or droplet?
Pharyngeal diphtheria is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also spread through direct contact with contaminated objects or surfaces. While it is not classified as airborne in the same way as diseases like tuberculosis, close proximity to an infected individual increases the risk of transmission.
