Outbreak

Lisa, Your post on the syphilis outbreak case was very informative. I agree with what you have stated. Interviews along with questionnaires are an essential part of an epidemiological investigation. I also agree that all interviews should be kept confidential this will insure that the teens receive treatment and give information about who could be infected. A good epidemiologist stablishes a pattern, determines the frequency, and investigates who is infected and who has been exposed.…

are crying and yelling for their parents, the parents desperately running, looking for their children. Strange men and women running everywhere, launching themselves and biting anyone they see. This is a zombie outbreak but how is it stopped? Three steps are required to stop a zombie outbreak. First step is quarantining the zone where it all started.

Finally, I will discuss what I learned in the Outbreak at Watersedge activity, and why team work is important in community health nursing.

The role of the nurse in the Outbreak at Watersedge…

The Social and Political Outbreaks of the 1960s Olympics “Bang”! The runners jump off their blocks from the start and begin to pick up lightning speed. Faster and faster, one runner breaks away, and you hear the crowd roar with excitement when the runner gets closer and closer to crossing the finish line with a new world record. The Olympics has become an amazing way to showcase worldwide competition while putting political and social issues aside. Although, not every Olympics has run as…

What I’m about to tell you is very important. Make a plan on how you would survive a zombie outbreak. Here is a list of things that you will need: 1 gallon of water per person per day, stock up on nonperishable food, medications, tools and supplies (examples duct tape, utility knife, battery powered radio, flashlights, candles, lighter/lighter fluid, matches, and most importantly plenty of weapons). If possible make sure you have sanitary items, plenty of blankets, and clothing, the last thing…

Not only do they reduce potential investments, they also place nations into a state of emergency. A perfect example includes Liberia. For those unaware, Liberia remains a nation in West Africa that remained devastated by the Ebola outbreak of 2014. Not only did the outbreak bring the nation's economy to a halt, it also killed thousands of people. In addition, countries such as Sierra Leone and Guinea also faced the…

Furthermore, the periodic outbreaks of the Ebola caused the death rate to sky rocket higher than normal. Keep in mind, that there are steps that everyone could take in an effort of risk factors, symptoms, and prevention. Individuals could be affected by the Ebola Virus exposure due…

Documentaries are well-known for appealing to the audience’s emotions. In the 2014 Frontline documentary of the Ebola outbreak, awareness of the devastation and severity of the Ebola virus are brought to the surface. The disease has ravaged the country of Sierra Leone and surrounding territories like Guinea. Community helpers, volunteers, and organizations such as Doctors without Borders came together to service those in need of aid. Unfortunately, the efforts of the doctors and helpers seem…
