Emerging Infectious Diseases
To what could your neighbor have been exposed, and how could the exposure have occurred?
Zika virus is an infectious disease influenced by microbial adaption and change and travel (DeMarco & Healey-Walsh, 2020). CDC (2019) identifies various symptoms of the Zika Virus, including fever, rash, headache, joint pain, conjunctivitis, and muscle pain. From the list of symptoms gathered from my neighbor, she may be infected with the virus. It is transmitted by mosquitoes that carry the virus, and a bite transmits the virus into the bloodstream. It is also possible for the virus to be transmitted sexually and through blood transfusion, as the virus remains in the body for a while, affecting people differently, and there may not be any signs or symptoms available in the person.
What advice would you give your neighbor?
Mayo Clinic (2018) identifies risks of miscarriages linked to the Zika virus, making it crucial that the neighbor immediately sees a doctor. Although the symptoms go away after a week of rest and hydration, it poses a risk to the fetus by causing microcephaly, a potentially fatal congenital brain condition (Mayo Clinic, 2018). It can also cause other neurological disorders, which can be damaging to a developing fetus. Reduced body movement due to too much muscle tone after birth, eye damage, joint problems, and brain damage and reduced brain tissue are other complications and defects that the virus may cause to a child (Mayo Clinic, 2018). Since the virus remains in the bloodstream for about a week, conducting a blood test would confirm the virus’s presence or lack thereof. There is no known treatment for the virus, which makes prevention the best alternative available. Pregnant women should avoid traveling to places associated with the virus due to the various complications it ay have on fetus development.

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.
Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are significant public health burdens. Currently, more than 25 million people in the United States have asthma (HealthyPeople.gov, 2019). As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely encounter patients who will present with respiratory disorders, including asthma or COPD. Understanding specific treatment protocols as well as the types of pharmacotherapeutics used to treat respiratory disorders is important to ensure the effective and safe delivery of advanced nursing practice.
This week, you will evaluate drug therapy plans for patients who present with asthma and analyze the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management from a patient in your professional practice.

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance.
The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country’s health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government.
Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each.
