UCF Types of Prevention for Pertussis Discussion

 

I’m working on a nursing multi-part question and need support to help me learn.

Using your last name, pick one reportable disease that begins with the first letter of your last name from the reportable disease list. LETTER P- PERTUSSIS(WHOOPING COUGH)

Now you will need to answer the following questions

1. What is the disease? / How is this diagnosis made for this disease and what are the symptoms? (This should at least be 2 paragraphs), including a citation.

2. Using an Epidemiologic triad or web of causation, explain the disease process.

3. What is the impact of this disease in the community

4. What are types of prevention for this disease?

5 Using data for the state of Florida, what is the number of people effected by this disease in your county in the state of Florida. How does this compare to the rest of Florida? (Or use the state you are currently living in.)

6 Now go to the Center for Disease Control and find data for the US on your disease. How does this compare to Florida?

7. Finally, go to the World Health Organization and find data and something interesting about the reportable disease.
