Synthesize Course content from Weeks 1-5 according to the following sections:
Introduction: Analysis of the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications,
treatment) to include demographic break down that includes age, gender, race, or other at-risk indicators (da ta
per demographics should include mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence).
Determinants of Health: Define, identify and synthesize the determinants of health as related to the
development of the infection. Utilize HP2020.
Epidemiological Triad: Identify and describe all elements of the epidemiological triad: Host factors, agent
factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Utilize the demographic break down to further
describe the triad.
Role of the NP: Succinctly define the role of the nurse practitioner according to a national nurse practitioner
organization ( National Board of Nursing or 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 a model of practice which supports the implementation
of an evidence-based practice.  Refer to your course textbook for models of practice examples
