Disease outbreak (no specific amount of pages or words are required just follow rubric and templates)

Description

I NTRODUCTION With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have revealed an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials. In the Bentonville simulation, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. You will provide a PDF report of your completed activities. In this task, you will also analyze an outbreak of a specific global communicable disease that occurred in the last 50 years that crossed international borders (e.g., the measles outbreak that moved from the Philippines to the United States).  REQUIREMENTS Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide  You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.  A.  Select one of the following communicable diseases that has had an outbreak across international borders: •  influenza •  measles •  respiratory syndrome coronavirus •  meningococcal disease •  HIV/AIDS •  Ebola virus •  hepatitis B •  hepatitis C •  tuberculosis •  Zika virus   B.  Describe the outbreak of the disease selected in part A, including each of the following: •  name of the disease •  the countries involved •  the date the outbreak was discovered •  the dates the disease reached each involved country 1.  Analyze the epidemiological determinants and risk factors associated with the outbreak. 2.  Discuss the route of transmission of the selected disease. 3.  Discuss how an outbreak of the selected disease would impact your community at a systems level (e.g., the functioning of schools, local government, businesses, hospitals). 4.  Explain what the reporting protocol would be if an outbreak of the selected disease were to occur in your community. 5.  Discuss two strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies) that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak of the selected disease in your community.   C.  Submit a PDF of your score summary from Bentonville that includes each of the following completed activities: •  Influenza in Bentonville •  Community Advocacy •  Emergency Response •  Communicable Disease   Note: For an example of how your score sheet should look, refer to the attached “Sample Final Results Report: Influenza in Bentonville.”   D.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.   E.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

B2:ROUTE OF TRANSMISSION NOT EVIDENT A discussion of the route of transmission of the disease is not provided. APPROACHING COMPETENCE The discussion does not logically describe the methods, determining factors, environments, and/or hosts required as part of the selected disease’s route of transmission; or the discussion of the route of transmission contains one or more inaccuracies for the disease selected in part A. COMPETENT The discussion logically and accurately describes the methods, determining factors, environments, and/or hosts required as part of the route of transmission for the disease selected in part A. B3:IMPACT ON COMMUNITY NOT EVIDENT A discussion of how an outbreak would impact the community at a systems level is not provided. APPROACHING COMPETENCE The discussion does not accurately or logically explain how areas of the community would be impacted on a systems level if an outbreak were to occur locally. COMPETENT The discussion accurately and logically explains how areas of the community would be impacted on a systems level if an outbreak were to occur locally.

APPROACHING COMPETENCE The explanation does not logically describe the steps, actions, or processes that make up the reporting protocol for the community, or the explanation does not logically discuss how the community reporting protocol would be used if an outbreak of the disease selected in part A were to occur in the community. COMPETENT The explanation logically describes the steps, actions, or processes that make up the reporting protocol for the community and logically discusses how the community reporting protocol would be used if an outbreak of the disease selected in part A were to occur in the community. B5:PREVENTION STRATEGIES NOT EVIDENT A discussion of 2 strategies to prevent an outbreak in the community is not provided. APPROACHING COMPETENCE A discussion of 2 strategies to prevent an outbreak is provided, but the discussion does not logically explain how each strategy would prevent an outbreak of the selected disease in the community, or it does not logically explain why each strategy is recommended. COMPETENT The discussion logically explains how each of the 2 strategies would prevent an outbreak of the selected disease in the community, and it logically explains why each of the 2 strategies are recommended.
