WEEK 5 NR503 CHAMBERLAIN UNIVERSITY
Purpose
Infectious disease occurs worldwide and must be addressed just as chronic disease is
approached. This assignment will present the learner an opportunity to explore a
communicable disease, to apply the epidemiological triad, and to discern
the demographic and at-risk background data for a specific infectious disease agent.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assessment, the student will meet the following Course Outcomes.
1. Identify appropriate outcome measures and study designs applicable to
epidemiological sub-fields such as infectious disease, chronic disease, environmental
exposures, reproductive health, and genetics. (CO3)
2. Identify important sources of epidemiological data. (CO6)
Total Points Possible: 125
Requirement
1. Apply the concepts of population health and epidemiology to one of the following
infectious diseases:  (Choose one from the following list for your paper.)
o Community Acquired Pneumonia
o Infectious Diarrhea
o Hepatitis B
o Tick-borne Encephalitis
o Salmonella
2. Synthesize Course content from Weeks 1-5 according to the following sections:
o Introduction: Analysis of the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of
transmission, complications, treatment) to include demographic break down that
includes age, gender, race, or other at-risk indicators (data per demographics should
include mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence).
o Determinants of Health: Define, identify and synthesize the determinants of health
as related to the development of the infection. Utilize HP2020.
o Epidemiological Triad: Identify and describe all elements of the epidemiological
triad: Host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors.
Utilize the demographic break down to further describe the triad.
o Role of the NP: Succinctly define the role of the nurse practitioner according to a
national nurse practitioner organization (National Board of Nursing or AANP, for
example) and synthesize the role to the management of infectious
diseases (surveillance, primary/secondary/tertiary interventions, reporting, data
collecting, data analysis, and follow-up). This includes the integration of a model of
practice which supports the implementation of an evidence-based practice.  Refer to
your course textbook for models of practice examples.
