go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC website and review the mission, vision, and major responsibilities of the CDC. Based on what you have learned about epidemiology this week and your research into the CDC, answer the following questions?
What are some of the things that you might expect the CDC to do on a regular basis related to epidemiology?
What do you think are some of the major challenges facing the CDC? Provide a rationale for your answers
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC n.d.) completed a study on the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on the long-term health of children and adults. Read about the study. https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces/fastfact. What things surprised you about this study? Cite an additional source that discusses the impact of early childhood stress on long-term physical or mental health.
What Method Do You Use To Show Intangible Assets On A Balance Sheet?Discuss.
Watch the video of Joseph Reading the Three Little pigs. Write an anecdote using detailed and non-judgmental language.
Review the CDC Milestone handouts for three and four year old children. Complete the comments section by commenting on the Joseph’s development. What did you learn about her development in this observation? The CDC handout will guide you in making comments about Joseph’s development.
Submit your anecdotal observations to the dropbox.
Examine a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advertising campaign that promotes the influenza (flu) vaccination.
Analyze the campaign to discover the target audience and the advertising techniques used. Then, evaluate the effectiveness of these advertising techniques. Write a five-paragraph essay in which you explain how the advertising campaign effectively promotes the influenza vaccination to a range of audiences.
COVID-19 Policy for health care clinic
Create a health care policy for a family practice clinic. Include:
1. How to protect yourself, employees, patients, and community. (Refer to CDC guidelines) and others.
2. List measures you will use to prepare physical clinical space
3. Describe employee training
4. Describe how you will alter your usual operations to reduce Covid-19 exposure e.g. creating more space to allow for social distancing,infection control etc.
5. List 2 types of Covid-19 testing methods you will offer, and why
Use APA 7 format
Would you call this an epidemic? Would you call it an outbreak?
Describe the steps you would take if you were leading this outbreak investigation.
The investigators suspected that this was a vehicle-borne outbreak, with food as the vehicle. What is a vehicle? What is a vector?
What is the value of an epidemic curve?
Using the data in the line listing below, download and complete the attack ratio table (Attached).
Which food is the most likely vehicle of infection? Explain your reasoning.
Name that Fallacy
A fallacy is a defective argument, where the reasons for a conclusion may sound compelling, but the justification is not present in the premises. What was the last fallacy you encountered? What was the context? Be sure to identify the fallacy (review the required video) and specifically explain how the fallacy is evident in your example.
Craft a post in which you critically examine your chosen fallacy. Name the fallacy you have identified and show us how it is evident in your example.
Biden’s false claims about the vaccine
AP FACT CHECK: Biden goes too far in assurances on vaccines
CALVIN WOODWARD and HOPE YEN
“President Joe Biden offered an absolute guarantee Wednesday that people who get their COVID-19 vaccines are completely protected from infection, sickness and death from the coronavirus. The reality is not that cut and dried.”
BIDEN: “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the IC unit, and you’re not going to die.” — town hall.
CDC study shows 74% of people infected in Massachusetts Covid outbreak were fully vaccinated
KEY POINTS
About three-fourths of people infected in a Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak were fully vaccinated, according to new data published Friday by the CDC.
The new data, published in the U.S. agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that fully vaccinated people who get infected carry as much of the virus in their nose as unvaccinated people.
As an example, you may be asked to identify populations at risk for oral health issues or, for instance, issues related to the frail living at home, and design a population health focused educational intervention for your target population.
In addition, you will look at what outcomes will be addressed to determine if your interventions are effective. This paper should integrate HP2020 and CDC information into your paper.
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Identify appropriate outcome measures and study designs applicable to epidemiological sub-fields such as infectious disease, chronic disease, environmental exposures, reproductive health, and genetics. (CO3)
2. Identify important sources of epidemiological data. (CO6)
ToolKit
1. Locate and share a ToolKit from the CDC, WHO, United States Preventative Services Taskforce, Million Hearts, or Healthy People 2030. Detail how an advanced practice nurse can utilize the tool kit for a specific population that is affected by health care inequities.
3. 2 peer reviewed articles less than 5 years old.
