NURS-4006 Week 1: Assignment EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING DISEASES FACT SHEET
EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING DISEASES FACT SHEET
Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” This is most definitely true when it comes to diseases and how to prevent and treat them. As a nurse, you are charged with teaching patients how to prevent infectious diseases and what to do if they become infected. A powerful tool in your arsenal is the Fact Sheet. Usually comprised of one page of easy-to-read content, these leaflets can be distributed easily and can effectively inform your practice.
