Public Service

Create a public service announcement (PSA) for an infectious disease, to be delivered via the Sentinel City radio station. Student Instructions • Using the first letter of your first or last name, select an infectious disease from the CDC National Notifiable Infectious Conditions List that could potentially impact your target population in Sentinel City® Community Health Simulation. • Research the details of the disease using the CDC website and other sources. • In a short document designed to explain the PSA to your faculty, clearly describe the disease, explain the chain of transmission and discuss strategies a nurse would use to decrease the spread of this disease. Include the CDC mandatory reporting requirements for the disease and address how this disease could become a global health issue. In other words, what might cause this disease to spread from the U.S. to other countries? • Using a recording tool, develop a 15-second (45-60 words) radio PSA that could be used in Sentinel City® Community Health Simulation to alert the residents about the infectious disease. Make sure the PSA is in layperson terms and include how to find out more about the disease. • For questions, contact your instructor.
