Hantavirus

Analysis of the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment) to include demographic break down (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Identify and synthesize the determinants of health as related to the development of this disease. Identify and describe all elements of the epidemiological triad: Host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Succinctly define the role of the primary care nurse practitioner according to a national nurse practitioner organization (AANP, for example) and synthesize the role to the management of infectious diseases (surveillance, primary/secondary/tertiary interventions, reporting, data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up). This includes the integration of models of practice which support the implementation of an evidence-based practice. Refer to your course textbook for models of practice examples.
