How does the nurse incorporate knowledge of incubation periods
into client teaching?
Give this one a try later!
,Emergencies - Any event requiring swift, intense response on the part of existing
community resources
Disasters - overwhelm local resources, often require external aid
- Natural - weather, volcano, stampede, pandemic, etc.
- Manmade - WMD, violence, human error, infrastructure failure, etc.
-- Terrorism - "intention to harm civilians for political purposes"
- Natech - natural disaster creates technical problem
(i.e. power/communication/transportation outages)
-Preparedness - preimpact, primary prevention, what could go wrong, what is
the most at risk thing that could happen, identify all hazards, proactive
planning, evaluate possible damage (hurricane vs tornado)
-Mitigation - preimpact, primary prevention, take measures to limit damage,
disability, and loss of life, ex. if their was an earth quake, the bridges may not be
strong enough - so we get engineers to reenforce the bridges
-Response - impact, secondary prevention, immediate response, acute,
implementation of disaster plan, provide emergency care, restore
Time period between initial contact with the infectious agent and the
communication and transportation
appearance of the first signs or symptoms of the disease
ecovery - postimpact, tertiary prevention, rebuilding our buil dings and roads,

chronic conditions because of disaster, stabilization, return to
-- Carrier: A person or animal who harbors an infectious organism and
normal status
transmits the organism to others while having no symptoms of the disease.
Some NEVER develop clinical symptoms. Not realizing they are infected,
carriers can be a common source of disease spread.
-- Incubatory carriers - eventually develop symptoms.
The belief that no group of people should bear a disproportionate share of
negative environmental health consequences regardless of: race, culture,
income
- there shouldn't be disparities w/in the environment, ex. Cancer ally, low
income communities are where health damaging companies are working, which
is not fair
, Steps in Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Plan:
1. Define community
2.Collect data (compile existing data (secondary data), identify missing/needed
data to be generated (primary data))
3.Analyze data
4. Establish community diagnoses
5. Plan programs
6.Implement programs
7.Evaluate program interventions
- Systematic process that involves all sectors of a community to conduct a
comprehensive community health assessment (CHA) identify priorities for
action, develop and implement a community health improvement plan (CHIP),
and guide future community decisions and resource allocations.
Starts with:
• Defining the population of interest
• Building coalitions or identifying existing ones
• Identifying and involving stakeholders and opinion leaders
• Working with the community through community empowerment (not for)
Determining priorities: consider:
• Aggregates' preferences
• Number of individuals affected by the health problem
• Severity of the health need or problem
• Availability of potential

solutions
• Practical considerations such as skills, time, and available resources
• Maslow's hierarchy of needs (basic needs before psychosocial needs and
other emotional needs), Levels of Prevention model (primary first), or Health

What values must the nurse keep in mind when responding to a mass
casualty event that might be different from traditional acute care
settings?

, Human susceptibility to infection:
• For infections to occur people must be susceptible
• - No acquired immunity, lack of herd immunity
• - Immunocompromised, poor nutrition, medications, comorbidities
• - Breakdown of normal defense mechanisms
• - Population density: enough people close to one another to allow for
transmission
Climate, changing ecosystems, land use:
• Ecological changes related to climate change is a #1 factor for the
emergence of new infectious diseases
• - Ecosystems: groups of interacting living things that depend on each other
for survival
• Geographic & seasonal variations
Travel, technology, industry:
• International air travel
• Mass food production methods
Breakdown of public health infrastructure:
• Less developed nations are more vulnerable
• Not all countries have public health infrastructure to combat
emerging infectious disease
Incidence:
- Incidence is new cases of a condition and is our best estimate of how at-risk
a population is to have new cases of a condition.
- measure of the probability that people without a certain condition will develop
that condition over a period of time
- Ex. McLean county, IL has 32 cases out of population of 172,578,
divide 32/172,578 = 18.5 cases per 100,000
- Ex. Hancock County, IL:
4 cases/18,112 total population
= 22.1 cases per 100,000
Prevalence:
- Prevalence is total (new + old) cases of a condition and is our best estimate
of the burden of disease.
- measures the number of people in a given population who have an
existing condition during a period of time
- Ex. Number of students with ADHD
-- Trans and GNC: = 23.5%
