Bio-Terrorism. Information for the Health Care Professional
Description
In an increasingly dangerous age, nurses and other health care personnel are vital figures in defending against a terrorist attack, especially one involving biological weapons. Incorporating key protocols from the Centers for Disease Control, this program provides information on dealing with the immediate health impact of a bioterrorist act. Viewers learn about the origins, incubation times, signs and symptoms, modes of transmission, and recommended treatments for "Class A" microbes or biological agents-those that are deemed a particular threat to public safety. These include anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia, and viral hemorrhagic fever.
