In primary prevention,the nurse’s intervention should limit the effects of the occurring disaster. He/she nurse should advocate for effective infrastructures such as buildings,roads,bridges which can withstand the forces of wind,water and tremors experienced in the event (Hassmiller and Stanley, 2012). In secondary prevention the nurse can intervene by providing supportive care which includes determining victims who need shelter, coordinating the activities of shelter workers,keeping record of those admitted and discharged from the shelters and ensuring safety of the shelter residents. In tertiary prevention the nurse can give follow-up psychological care for problems resulting from the disaster.The nurse with a team of psychologists can team up and give counseling to the victims who undergo psychological trauma.

The above interventions can be applied in the recovery phase of the disaster management.This is because it is at this phase that the nurse can assess the impact of the disaster on people and the environment so as to implement the proposed interventions. The recovery phase aims at the recovery of the community and its members from the effects of the disasters and preventing it from recurring (Vogt and Kulbok,2008)

Disaster management nurses are specialized and skilled in responding to disasters and would be valuable participants in facilitating the above interventions while on the other handcritical care nurses provide specialized care to victims who are badly injured hencethese groups of nurses will play a major role in the management of the victims. On occurrence of a disaster, people tend to experience psychological trauma andthey would benefit greatly from Critical Incidence Stress Debriefing (CISD) (Mitchell and Everly, 1996) provided by psychologists.Volunteer groups such asRedcrossparticipates in disaster management by helping in evacuation, giving first aid, providing food, clothing and resettlement of those who are displaced.

Community Health Nursing

Order Description

With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have indicated an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials. In this task, you will analyze a specific, recent outbreak of a global communicable disease that has crossed international borders (i.e. TB outbreak, Haiti to U.S.). Choose one of the following communicable disease outbreaks to address in your task:

? avian influenza

? measles

? respiratory syndrome coronavirus

? meningococcal disease

? tuberculosis

? malaria

Requirements:

A. Analyze the selected communicable disease outbreak (suggested length of 2?3 pages) by doing the following:

1. Describe a specific, communicable disease outbreak.

Note: This may include the name of the disease, countries involved, date discovered, and date the disease reached certain countries.

2. Analyze the epidemiological determinants of the outbreak.

a. Discuss the route of transmission of the disease causing the outbreak.

b. Discuss any risk factors involved.

3. Discuss how the outbreak could affect your community at a systems level (i.e., how it will affect the functioning of schools, local government, businesses, hospitals).

4. Explain what the reporting protocol would be if an outbreak were to occur in your community.

5. Develop a plan for how you would report about the outbreak to key stakeholders in your community.

6. Discuss strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies) that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak in your community.

B. Include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.

Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from outside sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA Guidelines section.
