Answer: Noroviruses, Airborne Illnesses, Nosocomial Infections, Hepatitis A
Step-by-step explanation:
Noroviruses cause gastrointestinal infections. Common symptoms of noroviruses are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps.
Respiratory illnesses are spread via droplets breathed, sneezed or coughed into the air by someone with the disease. Sneezing and coughing can spread droplets as far as three feet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, which means that many droplets land on nearby objects 1.2. Common respiratory illnesses that can be spread by poor hand washing include rhinoviruses such as the common cold and influenza.
Many infections are transmitted to hospital patients from other patients or staff members by poor hand-washing techniques. If hospital staff members don’t wash between patients, they carry bacteria and viruses from one patient to another. Some difficult-to-eradicate types of nosocomial infections include methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), clostridium difficile (c diff) and Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Escherichia coli (E. coli) and pseudomonas are also commonly encountered nosocomial infections.
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver, causing jaundice, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, fever and fatigue. Hepatitis A is often spread via food contaminated by food handlers with the disease who don't thoroughly wash their hands after using the bathroom.
