Answer #1

I as a Community Health Nurse can help reduce the spread of the current measles outbreak by educating the members of the community including individuals, organizations, about the appropriate and timely prevention strategies and measures of control to prevent the spread of the disease. Prevention measures include getting the target population vaccinated by MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) as this vaccine is nearly 100% effective in preventing measles. For obtaining herd immunity the WHO has recommended that 95% of the eligible population be vaccinated (WHO, 2017). Educating people that the date from when you first developed the measles rash they should avoid work or school for at least 4 days in order to reduce the spread of the disease.
