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. 

Requirement

  • Apply the concepts of population health and epidemiology to one of the following infectious diseases:  (Choose one from the following list for your paper.) 

    • Influenza

    • Mononucleosis

    • Hepatitis B

    • HIV/AIDs

    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.  Refer to your course textbook for models of practice examples. 

Preparing the paper

Submission Requirements

  1. Application: Use Microsoft Word™ to create the written assessment. 

  2. Length: The paper (excluding the title page and reference page) should be limited to a maximum three (3) pages.  Papers not adhering to the page length may be returned to you for editing to meet the length guidelines.  

  3. A minimum of three (3) scholarly research/literature references must be used. CDC or other web sources may be utilized but are not counted towards the three minimum references required.  Your course text may be used as an additional resource but is not included in the three minimum scholarly references.

  4. APA format 6th edition.

  5. Include scholarly in-text references and a reference list.

  6. Do not write in the first person (such as “me” “I”)

This assignment will be run through Turn It In. Your second submission will be considered final and subject to grading.

Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. Quizzes and discussions are not considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy.
