Reports • Report must include 4 sections (10 points each): – History of the disease (discovery, identification, important cases, important breakthroughs, etc.)

– Biology/symptoms of the disease

– Epidemiology/transmission of the disease, including current research

– Mathematical modeling of the disease • Each section must be at least 2 pages.

– Epidemiology section must be at least 4 pages

• Note

– not just about the biology of the pathogen! • Questions to answer in your report:

– Where did the disease originate?

– When it was first observed? Who discovered it? How did they identify it? What misconceptions did they have initially about the disease?

– Major outbreaks, epidemics, or important cases (ones that changed our understanding of the disease) Report: Biology/Symptoms

• Biology/Symptoms of the disease

– What are the symptoms?

– Is it treatable? How is it treated?

– Is it terminal? Chronic? Report: Epidemiology

• Questions to ask:

– How does it spread?

– How do symptoms influence transmission?

– What is a case definition? Who developed this? How has it changed?

– Who is at risk/what are the risk factors?

– What happens during an outbreak (response)?

– How do we engage in surveillance?

– How bad is the infectivity? Pathogenicity? Virulence?

– What are morbidity and mortality rates? Survival rates?

– What are the current incidence and prevalence numbers?

– What happens after you get the disease?

Report: Epidemiology

• Can it be controlled? Eradicated? If so, how?

• What past control/eradication efforts have there been? Why did they not work (or if they did, why did they work?)

• What kind of epidemiological research is being done on the disease?

– Give specific examples, including research results

– Current research is NOT vaccines and treatment Report: Modeling

• What kind of mathematical models are used to make predictions about this disease?

• What are some of the variables that have been calculated (R0, transmission rate, recovery rate, etc)?

• How accurate are the predictions?

• How has a model been used in control or eradication?

• Give an example of a model, and the predictions that it has made.

– The model should be specific to the disease, not just repeating what we learn in class

Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs

What type of drug should you prescribe based on your patient’s diagnosis? How much of the drug should the patient receive? How often should the drug be administered? When should the drug not be prescribed? Are there individual patient factors that could create complications when taking the drug? Should you be prescribing drugs to this patient? How might different state regulations affect the prescribing of this drug to this patient?These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient. As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for people’s lives every day. Patients and their families will often place trust in you because of your position.
