    1. Managing Infectious Diseases

    2. Chain of Infection

    3. Discuss the difference…. Infection: “condition in which the host interacts physiologically and immunologically with a microorganism” p. 2475 Infectious Disease: “the consequences that result from invasion of the body by microorganisms that can produce harm to the body and potentially death” p. 2475

    4. Figure 70-2. Biologic spectrum of response to bacterial infection at the cellular level (left) and of the intact host (right). Redrawn from Evans, A.S., & Brachman, P. S. (1998). Bacterial Infections in humans. New York: Plenum.

    5. Infection Prevention Identify the two principal agencies involved in setting infection prevention guidelines. Develop a general Infection Control and Prevention Plan. Develop a Plan of Care.

    6. Health Care Associated Infections Identify three organisms with high Health Care Associated Infection (HAI) potential. Discuss the associated care implications.

    7. HAI Bloodstream Infections Identify the two classifications of causative organisms. Identify the most common source of infection. What must be combined with Standard Precautions in regards to prevention? Discuss the importance of early detection.

    8. Vaccination Programs Describe the goal of community vaccination programs. Provide an examples of immunization programs.

    9. Web Quest Complete an on-line search to find the latest vaccination recommendations for: Adolescents Adults Health Care Providers

    10. Influenza Describe the following terms associated with influenza illness and discuss the prevention and care implications for each: Seasonal Epidemic Pandemic

    11. Diarrheal Diseases Identify the portal of entry common to all diarrheal diseases. Identify the three causes of diarrheal diseases.

    12. Match the Diarrheal Disorder With the Cause Escherischia coli Salmonella Calcivirus (Norovirus) Giardia Shigella Crytptosporidium Rotavirus Campylobacter Yersinia Entamoeba histolytica

    13. Diarrheal Diseases Develop an Infection Control Plan for diarrheal diseases. Develop a Plan of Care

    14. Emerging Infectious Diseases “human infectious diseases with incidence increased within the past two decades or potential increase in the near future” p. 2475 Identify the agency that defines and tracks emerging infectious diseases.

    15. Emerging Infectious Diseases Comprehensive List: http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/topics/emerging/list.htm Examples: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) West Nile Virus Legionnaires’ Disease Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers Ebola Marburg
