Question

The risk of significant complications, morbidity, and/or mortality is often referred to as:

A) Critical risk
B) High-risk
C) Adverse risk
D) Severe risk

Answer 1

Morbidity and mortality are important measurements of disease occurrence and distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two important measurements of disease occurrence and distribution are morbidity (illnesses due to a disease) and mortality (deaths due to a disease). The morbidity of a specific disease is defined as the number of susceptible people in a population that have the disease during a specific period of time, and is usually expressed as a rate. Mortality may also be expressed as a rate, and reflects the number of deaths due to a particular disease in a population over time.
