Chapter 4 Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases: Prevention and Control of Diseases and Health Conditions Chapter Objectives (1 of 2) After studying this chapter, you will be able to: Explain the differences between communicable (infectious) and noncommunicable (noninfectious) diseases and between acute and chronic diseases and provide examples of each. Describe and explain communicable and multicausation disease models. Explain how communicable diseases are transmitted in a community using the “chain of infection” model and use a specific communicable disease to illustrate your explanation. Explain why noncommunicable diseases are a community and public health concern and provide some examples of important noncommunicable diseases. Explain the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of disease and provide examples of each. Chapter Objectives (2 of 2) List and explain the various criteria that communities might use to prioritize their health problems in preparation for the allocation of prevention and control resources. List and discuss important measures for preventing and controlling the spread of communicable diseases in a community. List and discuss approaches to noncommunicable disease control in the community. Define and explain the purpose and importance of health screenings. Outline a chronic, noncommunicable disease control program that includes primary, secondary, and tertiary disease prevention components. Introduction Diseases and other health conditions are classified in several meaningful ways Classification can lead to prevention and control strategies Classification of Diseases and Health Problems In community health, diseases are usually classified as: Acute or chronic (<3 or >3 months) Communicable or noncommunicable Communicable versus Noncommunicable Diseases Communicable (infectious) diseases – those diseases for which biological agents or their products are the cause and that are transmissible from one individual to another Noncommunicable (noninfectious) diseases – those illnesses that cannot be transmitted from one person to another Identifying cause is difficult because many factors can contribute Acute versus Chronic Diseases and Illnesses Diseases classified by duration of symptoms Acute – diseases in which peak severity of symptoms occurs and subsides within 3 months Can be communicable or noncommunicable Chronic – diseases or conditions in which symptoms continue longer than 3 months Can be communicable or noncommunicable Communicable Diseases Infectivity: ability of a biological agent to enter and grow in the host Agent: cause of disease or health problem Host: susceptible person or organism invaded by an infectious agent Environment: factors that inhibit or promote disease transmission Pathogenicity: capability of a communicable agent to cause disease in a susceptible host Biological Agents of Disease Communicable Disease Model Chain of Infectio.

This is an apa format, 3 references, This is topic 3 of this assignment, I have attached topic one and 2 essays of this paper at the bottom of this paper. This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. In your Collaborative Learning Community, write a paper of 500-1,000 words that includes the following in addressing the health issue: Discuss past and present funding for initiatives that address the health issue. Include both public and private sources. Analyze past and present quality initiatives that address the health issue. Include both public and private sources. Differentiate how being insured versus uninsured impacts health outcomes relative to this issue. Compare health outcomes for the issue between the United States and a country with universal health coverage. Topic 1 essay on unfluenza Influenza CLC group essay 11-28-2017 Introduction Influenza commonly known as flu is a contagious respiratory infection that attacks the general respiratory system that is, the nose, throat, and even the lungs. It is caused by the two types of influenza viruses which are influenza A, influenza B and influenza C (Wang & Tao, 2010). Attacks from both viruses are epidemic and seasonal as they are common within specific periods within a year. Attack mechanisms for influenza A viruses depends on the genes on the surface protein of a patient. They are normally spread through sneezing and coughing from an infected individual to the surrounding air (Wang & Tao, 2010). The flu can also attack an individual in case they get into direct body tissue contact with an infected individual for example handshaking. Health professionals argue that the flu virus is stubborn and spreads mainly over tiny droplets which are produced when the infected individuals’ cough, talk, and sneeze (Wang & Tao, 2010). Such droplets are easily carried by the surrounding air and can be landed in the nose and mouths of the immediate persons. Additionally, it can enter into one’s system if he or she gets into direct contact with a surface or object that has the influenza bacteria and consequently rubs or touches their nose, mouth or even eyes (Wang & Tao, 2010). Health departments have overtime identified initiative to address the problem of influenza, such initiatives include: Reducing human exposure to the flu viruses, this initiative works by notifying the public on the safe ways to prevent and control the spread of the virus and it actively works to reduce infection opportunities and curbs the spread of the pandemic virus (Abramson, 2011). They have built able capacities to cope with the pandemic, measures have been taken and put in place to cope with the virus since helping the society to stay free from the virus (Abramson, 2011). They have innovated much on early warning and acknowledgments, information about influenza and its impacts to the society are made clear since it is effective for the society to stay free from the influenza virus (Abrams ...

Week 3: Epidemiology, the Basis for Public Health The study of epidemiology includes the examination of infectious disease, mental health and health-related events such as accidents or violence, and occupational and environmental exposure and their effects, as well as the examination of positive health states (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Additionally, the study of epidemiology includes research into the morbidity and mortality of chronic illnesses that are found in the United States and across the globe. Infectious diseases like polio, TB, measles, and malaria have been almost eliminated in the United States; however, these diseases continue in other parts of the world for a variety of reasons. Highly contagious infectious diseases can and do lead to death despite the fact that many are preventable. The United States has used childhood vaccinations to prevent and eradicate illnesses such as smallpox and polio. In order to reduce the incidence of malaria in the United States, DDT—a known carcinogen in humans that is also toxic to birds—and other pesticides were used in the past and have since been replaced with nontoxic insecticides and larvicides to reduce the numbers of mosquitoes. Unfortunately, developing countries often do not have the resources to engage in the same sorts of prevention programs and may have to resort to unsafe or toxic means to control vectors. They may not have the financial resources or health care personnel available to engage in mass vaccination campaigns. In addition, countries that experience frequent wars, acts of terrorism, and political instability face additional challenges to the provision of health care to their populations, especially when faced with an outbreak of an infectious disease. This week, you will focus on the epidemiology of infectious and communicable disease and how nursing practices change in response to threats and outbreaks. Learning Objectives Students will: Analyze public health settings in relation to prevention of disease transmission Analyze public health nurse’s role in outbreak investigations Apply the epidemiological triangle for an infectious or communicable disease outbreak Analyze leadership roles of nurses in bringing an outbreak under control Evaluate nursing strategies for health promotion in mitigating outbreaks Photo Credit: IAN HOOTON/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Learning Resources Required Readings Holtz, C.

Directions: Many of us have been impacted by outbreaks of disease in our lifetimes. Throughout history, humans have battled outbreaks of disease; many have lost their lives to diseases before treatments and cures were discovered. Modern science and medicine have become efficient in developing vaccines and medications to control and treat outbreaks, but whether the diseases will ever truly be eradicated is in question. Considering how many of these infectious diseases exist and how easily they spread, it is important to remember safety issues to reduce and prevent transmission. For your initial post , reflect over the past decade and recall a news-breaking infectious outbreak of a disease that made an impact on you. Please include a link to a news article or video related to your outbreak in your initial post. Include the following in your post: Disease name Infectious agent (is the disease bacterial, viral, or fungal? List the specific organism (genus species) Mode of transmission Signs and symptoms of the disease Treatment (or treatments) available Try not to duplicate another classmateâ€™s topic (make your subject line is your disease so it is easy to check) Explain how that story changed the way you interacted with people, family, or friends. .

Running head: TUBERCULOSIS 1 TUBERCULOSIS 2 Tuberculosis NRS-427VN | Epidemiology and Communicable Disease 8/26/18 Tuberculosis About 33% in our existence's people is considered to have been tainted with tuberculosis (TB), new attacks are symbolized in no under 1% of the people every year". In 2016, a standard 1.5 million fatalities associated with TB have took place, the lion's talk about which are from younger looking countries over the world. As this quantity has been reducing, unnecessarily various have been sullied. The best center is situated in the Asian and African countries, at 80%. Within the USA, 5-10% of the individuals studies constructive. With tuberculosis taking after second behind HIV/Helps in most common deaths from powerful ailment, they have transformed into an over-all exchange. Understanding the annals, seeing the signals and appearances, evolved treatment alternatives, and neutralizing activity, will spread this disease to an even of control. Since the start, tuberculosis has been accessible. Most quick unambiguous affirmation of the malady has been dated around 17,000 years before, in stays of a bison in Wyoming. Effective treatment of tuberculosis has finished up being bothersome and long. Chemical manifestations of the mycobacterium cell dividers and bizarre form, restricts most against microbial alternatives. Most typically used is Isoniazid and Rifampicin. Advised estimations of treatment, for new starting point, are half a year of blend hostile to infections operators. 8 weeks of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol drugs. Together with the latest four a few months of just rifampicin and isoniazid"(Wikipedia, 2015, p. 12).For the individuals who have idle TB receive only a sole against microbial. This estimation ruins the inert TB to wrap up aspect. As this move out estimations of hostile to infections specialists can be difficult, direct observed treatment is preferred by WHO (World Health Corporation, 2015). Facts have exhibited that folks, who are depended after to adopt their medicine, will miss organized estimations. Immediate discernment treatment contains having an interpersonal protection employee watch the individual taking their remedies. As this is dreary, using diverse contraptions of acknowledgment is necessary. Such overhauls can sign up for booked calls or digital notices. By not doing medication regimens, put others at peril to finding this sickness. Those in close closeness to specific with tuberculosis are in an especially high danger to finding the opportunity to be debased. Besides, with HIV/Supports hold the most hoisted risk element of all. Early on area and treatment, with fitted hindrances of these polluted is an integral. Friendly determinants ...
