EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING DISEASES FACT SHEET

Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” This is most definitely true when it comes to diseases and how to prevent and treat them. As a nurse, you are charged with teaching patients how to prevent infectious diseases and what to do if they become infected. A powerful tool in your arsenal is the Fact Sheet. Usually comprised of one page of easy-to-read content, these leaflets can be distributed easily and can effectively inform your practice.

To prepare for this Assignment:

· Select one disease that is either emerging or re-emerging in the world today.

· Research the disease using both scholarly and non-scholarly resources.

· Determine your audience (patients, other nurses, schools, etc.) that you would want to share the Fact Sheet with.

· Select pieces of information that are appropriate for your audience.

Assignment Instructions:

Disease:  Meningococcal Disease

Audience: General Public and Healthcare Professionals in Behavioral Health Settings

· Submit: A 1- to 2-page Fact Sheet. 

· Indicate the audience on the Fact Sheet. 

· Give a brief history of the disease. 

· What are the implications of the spread of the disease? 

· How does one detect and prevent the spread of this disease? 

· How is this disease treated? 

· Your Fact Sheet should be visually stimulating, appropriate for your audience, and formatted with bullet points for easy reading. 

· Support your “facts” with at least 3 references.

Please complete all of the lessons and send the certificates. There should be a total of 5 lessons with the link provided. Please send the certificates when finished. After each lesson there are a few questions based on the reading.

ADVOCATING FOR THE NURSING ROLE IN PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

· Select a healthcare program within your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program.

· Reflect on advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and implementation.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages)

In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

·
Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?

·
Who is your target population?

·
What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?

·
What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?

·
What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?

·
Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?
