Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in an infectious disease clinic is caring for a client with a new diagnosis of Lyme disease. Which of the following agencies is responsible for voluntarily reporting cases of this disease to the CDC?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: State health department. The state health department is responsible for voluntarily reporting cases of Lyme disease to the CDC as part of the national surveillance system for infectious diseases. State health departments collect and report data on various diseases to monitor trends, detect outbreaks, and implement public health interventions. The Office of the Surgeon General does not handle disease reporting, the Hospital infection control department focuses on preventing healthcare-associated infections within the hospital, and the Local Red Cross chapter is not involved in disease surveillance. Thus, the state health department is the appropriate agency for reporting cases of Lyme disease to the CDC.
