Communicable Disease Selection
Choose one communicable disease from the following list:
1. Chickenpox
2. Tuberculosis
3. Influenza
4. Mononucleosis

Epidemiology Paper Requirements
Address the following:
1. Describe the communicable disease (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.
2. Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.
3. 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. (The textbook describes each element of the epidemiologic triangle). Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?
4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up).
5. Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s) contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.
6. 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, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Apply- Media Review
Please scroll down to read the instructions for this assignment.

Take a moment now to apply the concepts you learned from the readings this week. Follow the instructions below to submit your work.

Content Requirement
Rent one of the films, “Crash” or “42”. As you watch the film, think about:

What were the causes/reasons for the discriminatory behavior?
What stereotypes were present in the film?
What stereotypes did you bring to the film that may have been challenged by the film?
How were topics such as dehumanization and justification portrayed?
How did you see prejudice being strengthened or encouraged AND how did you see prejudice being broken down and discouraged in the film? Give specific examples in the film.

In a 3-5 page response paper, discuss your reaction to some themes concerning aggression, prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, the ultimate attribution error, self-fulfilling prophecy, blaming the victim, scapegoating or interdependence.

Choose at least four of those concepts, explain them, and then give specific examples found in the movie. (Make sure that in writing your response, you use such detail that the instructor will know without a shadow of a doubt that you understand what the concept truly means.) Use the questions above to organize your response. Superior papers will also include references to other sources to support assertions.

Please keep in mind that these films present some hard material and may use language and images that are disturbing. While it is not the intent of the College to condone such activity, we want to be sure that you are familiar with how these issues are played out in society and the media. If you feel that exposure to these scenes is too uncomfortable, please let you facilitator know and he or she will arrange a different assignment for this module.

Discussion Prompt: Marriage
Most marriages in the United States are “love marriages,” in which the couple reports high levels of romantic love prior to being married. However, the divorce rate in the United States is about 50% for first marriages and even higher for second and third marriages. In addition, marital satisfaction falls quickly for all couples. Interestingly, the divorce rate for arranged marriages is very low and marital satisfaction remains high for these couples over long periods. Consider why these differences might exist between love marriages and arranged marriages. Some topics to consider are: cultural differences in social norms between the United Sates and other countries where arranged marriages are prevalent; differences in divorce laws; the role of cognitive dissonance and inadequate justification; and Sternberg’s theory of love. Given the relative success of arranged marriages, would you consider this option? At what age might you consider this option?

1) As health care looks at continuous improvement (as done in manufacturing), one of the most prominent questions that has arisen is, “Can the principles that worked in manufacturing really transfer over to health care? Taking care of a patient is not like building a car on an assembly line. Can standardized processes really work in a setting that focuses on humans and their needs?”

2) Write a paper that takes a position on this argument. Justify the rationale for your position.

Your duties at Regional Hospital require you to interface with many different professionals, including physicians, nurses, and allied professionals in various areas of health care. The facility also has a new information technology management center, which handles all professional staffing solutions within the hospital. As part of the management protocols, the hospital has tasked you with tracking professional certifications, tracking legal issues within the hospital, and providing detailed monthly reports on the general functionality of the health administration department.

1. Provide a detailed summary of your hospital’s organizational structure. Include a tabulated description of the levels of professionals within the organization. Describe the duties of each major head within the organization.

3. Outline a detailed feasibility plan for the hiring of nurses, physicians, and allied professionals. Provide a rationale for the chosen plan, and explain the main reasons why the plan in question would be suitable for use with different health care professionals.
4. Justify the use of information technology to increase patient services. Provide a summative table of some pros and cons of using information technology in an era of networking and security breaches.

At least four (4) scholarly references are required in addition to the use of this course’s textbooks. Scholarly references must be from professional literature (journal articles & texts. No websites). All papers are to follow APA 6th edition format and style including but not limited to in-text citations, references, and layout.
