Module 01 Discussion
– Plagues to Patients

Throughout history, humans have battled outbreaks of
disease; many lost their lives to diseases before treatments and cures were
discovered. Modern science and medicine have become efficient in developing vaccines
and medications to control and treat the outbreaks, but whether or not the
diseases will ever truly be eradicated is in question. Considering how many of
these infectious diseases exist and how easily they spread, it is important to
remember safety issues to reduce and prevent transmission.

For your initial post, research a specific infectious
outbreak in history and share your finding with your classmates. Be sure to
include the following information in your initial post (one paragraph):

Disease name

Infectious agent (is the disease bacterial, viral, fungal?)

Mode of transmission

Signs and symptoms of the disease

Treatment (or treatments) available

Try not to duplicate another classmate’s topic.

After considering all of your research, explain the impact
of infection rates in health care environments and who or what you think is the
culprit.

For your reply post, expand on your peer’s ideas by sharing
examples from your own experience or readings, suggesting outside resources to
support the topic, and/or asking questions to dig deeper into the topic.

Please make your initial post by midweek, and respond to at
least one other student’s post by the end of the week. Please check the Course
Calendar for specific due dates.
