Apply the concepts of epidemiology and nursing to research SARS-CoV-2. Address the following:

• Provide an overview of SARS-CoV-2 with emphasis on the mode of transmission and demographic of interest, including whether or not the disease selected is reportable.
• Apply the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors.
• Describe the role of the community health nurse in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention through tasks such as case finding and contact tracing, reporting, data collection, analysis, and follow-up.
• Identify at least one national patient safety resource or initiative that addresses SARS-CoV-2 and describe how the resource or initiative contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of the disease at the point of care.
• Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Identify changes in conditions that might indicate a public health emergency related to SARS-CoV-2.
