Texas Barber Exam Practice Test

Disease that spreads from one person to another is called a?

1. Non-communicable disease

2. Chronic disease

3. Infectious disease

4. Endemic disease

The correct answer is: Infectious disease

An infectious disease is caused by a pathogen such as bacteria or a virus and can be spread from one person to another through various methods such as contact with bodily fluids or breathing in droplets from an infected person. This is different from a non-communicable disease, which is not caused by a pathogen and cannot spread from person to person. A chronic disease is a long-lasting condition that can be either communicable or non-communicable. An endemic disease is one that is constantly present in a certain area. While a disease can be chronic, endemic, and communicable, the most accurate description of a disease that spreads from one person to another is an infectious disease.
