Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Secondary prevention involves early detection and intervention to prevent the progression of a disease and minimize its impact. Early detection of the rash can lead to prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics, which can prevent the progression of Lyme disease and the development of more severe symptoms.

B, C, and D are examples of primary prevention strategies aimed at reducing the risk of contracting Lyme disease in the first place, rather than detecting and managing it after infection has occurred.

A. Susceptible Host B. Portal of exit C. Reservoir D. Portal of entry

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Covering one's cough is an important infection control measure that helps to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets containing infectious agents from an infected person to others. By covering the cough, the portal of exit for the infectious agent (respiratory droplets) is blocked or minimized, thus breaking the chain of transmission at this point.
