ask 2: Community Outbreak

Introduction:

With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have revealed an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials.

In the Bentonville simulation, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. You will provide a PDF report of your completed activities.

In this task, you will also analyze an outbreak of a specific global communicable disease that occurred in the last 50 years that crossed international borders (e.g., the measles outbreak that moved from the Philippines to the United States).

Requirements:

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure of originality.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
A.  Select one of the following communicable diseases that has had an outbreak across international borders:

•  influenza

•  measles

•  respiratory syndrome coronavirus

•  meningococcal disease

•  HIV/AIDS

•  Ebola virus

•  hepatitis B

•  hepatitis C

•  tuberculosis

•  Zika virus
B.  Describe the outbreak of the disease selected in part A, including each of the following:

•  name of the disease

•  the countries involved

•  the date the outbreak was discovered

•  the dates the disease reached each involved country

1.  Analyze the epidemiological determinants and risk factors associated with the outbreak.

2.  Discuss the route of transmission of the selected disease.

3.  Discuss how an outbreak of the selected disease would impact your community at a systems level (e.g., the functioning of schools, local government, businesses, hospitals).

4.  Explain what the reporting protocol would be if an outbreak of the selected disease were to occur in your community (Florida).

5.  Discuss two strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies) that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak of the selected disease in your community(Florida).
 

Note: For an example of how your score sheet should look, refer to the attached “Sample Final Results Report: Influenza in Bentonville.”
D.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
E. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

Briefly discuss what you think are the most urgent needs of the residents and citizens of nation

/in /by

Look up the top ten ongoing humanitarian crises around the world.  Select one and write your discussion post on that crisis.

For example:

One of the major ongoing international crises is the humanitarian  crisis in Yemen that has been fueled by war, political, economic, and  other social upheaval in the region.  The  focus of the assignment is to bring attention to an ongoing crisis that  appears to get little attention in the west but is considered one  of the worst humanitarian crisis in our time. We are concerned about the  humanitarian issues as it relates to the global health related issues. Read  up on current news reports on what is happening in the crisis you  selected.  For example if you selected the Yemen situation you would:

  1. Discuss in what ways this complex humanitarian crisis is both a  local and an international event and your views on how various nations  have responded.
  2. Look for a publicly available photo that depicts this man-made disaster.  Share the photo and give appropriate credit.
  3. Briefly discuss what you think are the most urgent needs of the residents and citizens of nation
  4. Do you think adequate attention is being paid to this crisis?  Why or why not?
  5. Make an original post (290) that includes the photo, your  commentary on the photo, and that addresses the above questions  at least 2 scholarly references that includes the citation for the  photo.

Evaluate the morality of abortionists selling fetal body parts to the companies, the companies selling such parts to research institutions and the use of fetal body parts in research

/in /by

For this assignment you’ll have a total of 2 responses. 

PART A

Respond the inquiry below.

2. In the case below identify the consequences of the action taken and decide whether the action represented the greater good.

c. A physician on the staff of an urban medical center is approached by a lawyer from a remote part of the state and asked to testify on behalf of his client, a rural doctor charged with criminal negligence in the care of a patient.  The lawyer admits that his client is guilty of the charge.  He goes on to explain that although the doctor is old and not well versed in the latest medical knowledge, she is nevertheless competent; the negligence she is charged with resulted from the strain of being the only doctor in a large mountain area with a number of tiny towns and a total population of two thousand people.  The lawyer pleads with the medical center physician to testify that the negligent act was proper treatment.  The physician does so.

PART B

Answer ONE of the two inquiries below.

5. Reportedly, at least two companies specialize in buying the body parts of fetuses from abortion clinics and selling them to universities and medical institutes for use in research.  One of these companies reportedly charges $999 for a human brain under eight weeks’ gestation, $50 to $100 for eyes and ears, and $400 for an intact limbless trunk.  Evaluate the morality of (a) abortionists selling fetal body parts to the companies, (b) the companies selling such parts to research institutions, and (c) the use of fetal body parts in research.  In your evaluation discuss the relevant obligations, moral idealls, and consequences.

7.  Several years ago a married couple, faced with the tragic fact that the husband had terminal cancer, made an important decision: His sperm would be frozen so that the wife could conceive their child after his death. Three months after his death she was impregnated with his sperm and subsequently gave birth to a little girl.  The Social Security Administration ruled that the child was not entitled to receive benefits as his heir.  At first thought, you might be inclined to judge this ruling morally insupportable because the ideal of fairness requires that this child be treated as any other heir.  Resist that judgment until you have used your imagination to identify the significant consequences that would likely follow (a) denying the child the status of an heir and (b) granting the child the status of heir. Compare those consequences and make your decision. (Explain your reasoning.)
