Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a community health clinic is explaining to staff members that a mutation of influenza has increased the communicability of the virus. Which of the following information should the nurse include to describe the effect of communicability of a virus?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because increased communicability means the virus spreads more easily between individuals, leading to a higher transmission rate. This makes it more contagious and increases the likelihood of outbreaks.
Choice A is incorrect because survivability in the environment doesn't necessarily correlate with communicability.
Choice B is incorrect because severity of disease is not directly related to communicability.
Choice D is incorrect as the amount of virus needed to cause disease is not the same as communicability.
