What might you consider to be given beliefs? (Be careful when compiling your list. People do not always view the world in the same way-and some do not want to go near the edge.)

/in /by

Depending on an audience’s beliefs, some statements or claims of belief may need support. If claiming that “the Earth is round “, You might feel fairly confident that an audience will not look for proof, and unless that statement is critical to your argument, you will not need to include a great deal of support and development. Statements such as this are considered given beliefs-that is, the majority of people in the audience hold the same perspective of either true or false

1. What might you consider to be given beliefs? (Be careful when compiling your list. People do not always view the world in the same way-and some do not want to go near the edge.)

2. Has anyone ever spoken to you using what he or she considered to be given belief but you not? If so, how did that impact his or her argument?

UPLOADED BEFORE ACCEPTING 

Part I:
Start by reviewing the articles on quasi-government and non-governmental agencies in your REQUIRED course materials. Then:

  • Provide solid definitions of governmental agencies, quasi-government, non-government agencies. Please do not copy your definitions from a dictionary or any source. You  must explain these in your own words. Copying and/or direct quoting will result in 0 points on this portion of your assignment.
  • Explain the difference between public health and medical services.

Part II:
INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the chart below. In each box in column 1, you need to select four public health concerns from the list below. (You might want to review information on some of the suggested health topics in Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9 in your textbook, listed in RECOMMENDED course materials.) Your task is to find health-related organizations/agencies and a link to their website that address these issues at three distinct levels:

  • Governmental Agencies (column B)
  • Quasi-Government Agencies (column C)
  • Non-Governmental Agencies (column D).

Then, in column E, write in one or two sentences explaining why this issue is a public or community health concern. Remember that public/community health focuses on populations, not individuals. Think back to your explanation in Part II outlining the differences between public health medical services. You are required to review scholarly research to determine the role of public health as it relates to these issues. Each description MUST include a citation.

Please note that your description of the importance to public health should not be rooted in the individual medical health care. Public health focuses on populations, not individual care. See the example below to help you with your worksheet responses.

Write a paper (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of   epidemiology and nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to   “Communicable Disease Chain,” “Chain of   Infection,” and the CDC website for assistance completing this assignment.

Communicable Disease Selection

Choose one communicable disease from the following list:

  1. Chickenpox
  2. Tuberculosis
  3. Influenza
  4. Mononucleosis
  5. Hepatitis B
  6. HIV
  7. Ebola
  8. Measles

  10. Influenza

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.
