    What is the primary route of transmission for M. tuberculosis?

    • Droplet nuclei inhalation from coughing

    • Contact with patient belongings

    • Contact with Patients blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Droplet nuclei inhalation from coughing
    Explanation
    The primary route of transmission for M. tuberculosis is through droplet nuclei inhalation from coughing. When an infected person coughs, they release tiny droplets containing the bacteria into the air. These droplets can remain suspended in the air for a long time and can be inhaled by others who are in close proximity to the infected person. This is the most common way that the bacteria spreads from person to person. Contact with patient belongings or patient's blood may also pose a risk of transmission, but they are not the primary routes of transmission for M. tuberculosis.

    Smallpox vaccine is administered by what route.

    • Sub-Q

    • Intradermal

    • Percutaneous

    Correct Answer
    A. Percutaneous
    Explanation
    The smallpox vaccine is administered through the percutaneous route. This means that it is administered by puncturing the skin and delivering the vaccine directly into the layers beneath the skin. This method allows for the vaccine to be absorbed quickly and stimulates an immune response against the smallpox virus. Other routes such as subcutaneous (Sub-Q) or intradermal may be used for other vaccines, but for smallpox, percutaneous administration is the correct method.
