person’s state of health (resistance, immunizations) and personal habits (e.g., frequent hand

a.
True
b.
False
Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

ANSWER:
True
RATIONALE:
Young children’s short air passages (between ear, nose, and throat) are conducive to the rapid
spread of communicable illnesses. In addition, their bodies are not able to fight off many
pathogens because the immune system is not yet fully developed. Young children may not
have full control of their body functions and they often engage in habits (fingers in mouth)
that encourage the rapid transmission of infectious illnesses.
