What are necessary elements for the spread of infection?

Host, infection, and carrier
Host, transmission, and susceptible person
Carrier, transmission, and gloves
Gloves, mask, and gown

The correct answer is: Host, transmission, and susceptible person

Host, infection, and carrier are all needed for the spread of infection, but transmission is not included in this order as it is a method of spreading infection rather than an element needed for the spread. Carrier, transmission, and gloves all play a role in the spread of infection, but susceptible person is missing from this list. Susceptible person is an important element because it refers to an individual who is at risk of becoming infected when exposed to an infectious agent. Gloves, mask, and gown are all necessary for preventing the spread of infection, but they are not elements that contribute to the actual spread of infection.
