The purpose of this assignment is to discuss concepts of epidemiology and apply nursing theories and research to a communicable disease. Refer to “Communicable Disease Chain,” “Chain of Infection,” and the CDC websites, all located in the topic Resources, for assistance when completing this assignment.
Choose a communicable disease topic from the resources mentioned above or select one from the list below:
Chickenpox
Tuberculosis
Influenza
Hepatitis B
HIV/AIDS
STIs (HPV, herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis)
Ebola
Measles
Polio
Foodborne illnesses (E. coli, salmonella, listeria, hepatitis A)
Hepatitis C
SARS-CoV-2
Monkeypox
Dengue
Botulism
Norovirus
CA-MRSA
In a 1,000-1,250-word paper, apply the concepts of epidemiology and nursing to research a communicable disease. Address the following:
Provide an overview of the chosen communicable disease with emphasis on mode of transmission and demographic of interest, including whether or not the disease selected is reportable.
Apply the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors.
Describe the role of the community health nurse in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention through tasks such as case finding and contact tracing, reporting, data collection, analysis, and follow-up.
Identify at least one national patient safety resource or initiative that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the resource or initiative contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease at the point of care.
Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Identify changes in conditions that might indicate a public health emergency related to this communicable disease.
Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references (e.g., professional health organizations like Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], World Health Organization [WHO], Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS]).
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assessment is not traditional essay. It is a staff educational update about PHI. Consider creating a flyer, pamphlet, or one PowerPoint slide. It should not be more than 2 pages!(excluding a title and a reference page).

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

To Prepare:
Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment*, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
*not required to submit CliftonStrengths Assessment
The Assignment (2-3 pages):
Personal Leadership Philosophies
Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:
A description of your core values.
A personal mission and vision statement.
An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen.
A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.
Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

For the research method that’s what I was thinking-> The research design will be a cross-sectional, quantitative approach involving pre-surveys and post-surveys and the intervention part of education. It will include purposive sampling consisting of 100 nurses. Purposive sampling refers to intentionally selecting participants based on their characteristics, knowledge, experiences, or some other criteria. The reason for purposive sampling is the better matching of the sample to the aims and objectives of the research, thus improving the rigor of the study and the trustworthiness of the data and results; four aspects of this concept have previously been described: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability (Campbell et al., 2020). The post-survey will reassess the 50 nurses who received additional education on early ambulation and the 50 nurses who weren’t included in the education session. The target population is nurses who work in the med-surg/telemetry unit in the hospital.
You can modify it as needed

you will present Mrs. Snyder’s case to the healthcare team, including all internal and external stakeholders and key family members. The purpose of the presentation is to ensure that everyone connected with Mrs. Snyder’s case is well-informed and that they have a common understanding of her care to date and of plans for providing the best possible patient-centered care.
See the attached documents for additional details. An example of what is required has also been uploaded in addition to prior assignments related to the case

A 62-year-old male, former smoker with a 40-pack-year history, presents to the clinic with
worsening shortness of breath over the past year. He reports a chronic productive cough, fatigue,
and occasional wheezing. He finds it difficult to walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to
catch his breath. The patient also mentions that he gets frequent respiratory infections, and the
last one led to a three-day hospital stay. Physical examination reveals a barrel-shaped chest, use
of accessory muscles for breathing, and decreased breath sounds with wheezes upon
auscultation. A chest X-ray shows hyperinflation of the lungs, and spirometry confirms a
decreased FEV1/FVC ratio, consistent with COPD.
In 1 -2 pages, answer the questions below in detail. You must use current evidence-based
resources to support your answers. Follow APA guidelines. Follow the grading rubric.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. What factors in the patient’s history and lifestyle could have contributed to the
development of COPD? What about occupational hazards – what would be some
components that could cause COPD in the work environment?
How does smoking lead to the changes seen in the lungs, such as hyperinflation and the
barrel-shaped chest?
What physiological mechanisms are responsible for the patient’s chronic productive
cough?
How does alveolar destruction impact gas exchange and contribute to the patient’s
symptoms of fatigue and breathlessness?
Pathophysiological – why might this patient be more susceptible to frequent respiratory
infections?
