Write a paper (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of epidemiology and nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to "Communicable Disease Chain," "Chain of Infection," and the CDC website for assistance when completing this assignment.Communicable Disease SelectionChickenpoxTuberculosisInfluenzaMononucleosisHepatitis BHIVEbolaMeaslesPolioInfluenzaEpidemiology Paper RequirementsDescribe the chosen communicable disease, including causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment, and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.Describe the social determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide

All countries have population subgroups that are more vulnerable to health threats than the general population. What are some reasons that vulnerable populations are more sensitive to risk factors than those who are more resilient? Describe what is meant by vulnerable populations and explain strategies you, as the public health nurse, could use to best facilitate the achievement of healthful outcomes in this population?

Assignment Overview Given that each health care system and facility faces unique site-specific risk challenges, a one-size-fits-all model does not exist in risk management. Health care managers must consider all aspects of their setting very carefully in terms of patient safety, mandatory regulations, potential medical errors in the setting, existing and future policies/procedures, as well as current and upcoming legislative acts that affect health care provision in the setting.This module’s Case Assignment challenges you to locate and read an existing risk management and patient safety plan of a facility of your choice, and then assess its components in light of the background readings. Case Assignment Using the information in the required readings as well as some additional research in peer-reviewed sources, complete your Case Assignment by answering the following: Choose a health care facility (hospital, physician’s office, freestanding ambulatory clinic, etc.), and summarize each category of its risk management and patient safety plan. This can be your current or future-intended setting, or a facility that you locate through some research online. What is defined/included in the components of the plan? Who are the stakeholders responsible for the implementation of each component? Are the directives stated by the American Society for Health Care Risk Management followed in the plan? If not, what seems to be missing? What could be added/clarified in the plan’s policies and/or procedures to either further prevent risk or enhance patient safety? Be as specific as you can in your assessment. Does the facility have a dedicated Patient Safety Officer (PSO)? What is the role and scope of a PSO’s daily work? Assignment Expectations Conduct additional research to gather sufficient information to support your analysis. Provide a response of 3-5 pages, not including title page and references As we have multiple required items to be addressed herein, please use subheadings to show where you’re responding to each required item and to ensure that none are omitted. Support your paper with peer-reviewed articles and reliable sources. Use at least three peer-reviewed sources.
