concepts of population health and epidemiology

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.)

· Community Acquired Pneumonia

· Infectious Diarrhea

· Hepatitis B

· Tick-borne Encephalitis

· Salmonella

2. Synthesize Course content from Weeks 1-5 according to the following sections:

· 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).

· Determinants of Health:  Define, identify and synthesize the determinants of health as related to the development of the infection.  Utilize HP2020.

· 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.

· 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.
