Select a communicable disease to write about. Choose something new to you so it is a learning environment.
Research the disease from readings located through the Library and from public health websites like the CDC, Healthy People 2020, and/or WHO (the point is to use reputable resources).
Describe the communicable disease, incidence world-wide and in your community (go to your county’s public health website and research incidence of diseases), agent characteristics, environmental characteristics, signs and symptoms, treatment, and as a public/community health nurse how would you educate the public about this disease.
Format paper using APA guidelines. Ensure there is a title page (no running head is needed), page numbers, level headings, conclusion, and a reference page. Need at least 2 or more sources outside of the text book. Write 2-4 pages (double spaced) not including title page and reference page.
