Client Profile
Baby Martin was born via a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) at 36 weeks gestation. The mother arrived at the emergency room dilated to 9 centimeters and 100 % effaced. The mother also reports ruptured membranes for the past 22 hours. The fetal heart rate upon admittance to the emergency room is 170 bpm. The mother delivered in the emergency room 30 minutes after being examined. This is her seventh pregnancy, and she did not have prenatal care.
Case Study
Martin was admitted to the observation nursery from the emergency room where he was born. He weighed 5 pounds and was 19 inches long. His APGAR scores were 6 at one minute, and 8 at five minutes. Points were initially taken off for tone, reflexes, and color. His initial glucose was 35 and vital signs were heart rate 150, respirations 76, and temperature 97.2. The nurse noted some nasal flaring, grunting, and coarse breath sounds. He was given 1 ounce of D5W orally; oxygen therapy, and his skin and pharynx were cultured. The orders also included that he be placed on a warmer with skin probe for temperature monitoring.
At two hours the baby's glucose was 40, the nasal flaring continued, respiratory rate was 100 with continued coarse breath sounds. He exhibited acrocyanosis, and his temperature was 96.8. The baby was treated for transient tachypnea of the newborn with oxygen therapy and a warm environment.
At four hours the nurse noted that the baby was lethargic and difficult to arouse. He appeared pale with circumoral cyanosis, nasal flaring, and grunting with sternal retractions. The nurse notified the doctor, an IV was started, and the baby was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit at a hospital in the next town.
At six hours the mother called the NICU to check on his progress and was told that he had subsequently developed jaundice and was on a ventilator.

Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Influenza is a virus that can be easily spread from person to person and kills thousands of people each year. Healthcare workers are at risk of exposing themselves to infectious diseases from patients and material and therefore can also potentially transmit these diseases to others. Preventing and controlling the spread of vaccine preventable diseases in the health care setting is vital to ensure proper infection control practices should an outbreak occur. As such, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend vaccination of health care workers.
You are a public health researcher. You have been asked to identify a vaccine-preventable disease and create a 10- to 12-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint on a research design. Your research design should focus on determining why health care workers are not receiving the vaccination for your selected vaccine-preventable disease in their place of employment.
The presentation should also include the following:
