Standard Precautions to decrease job related exposures to infectious
diseases, and proper hand hygiene. This program is designed to provide
the basic principles necessary for infection control to be successful and

“Skin Care Update”
A DOD-MIST
Program For Military/Federal No CE Credits |
GETN-CDV |
The older you get, the
more important it is to take care of your skin as the skin becomes
thinner, begins to sag, causes wrinkles and injures more easily and heals
more slowly. Proper skin care is important for both our physical and
mental health. For instance, skin infection in a diabetic patient
can lead to the serious complication of gangrene. Those who are
bedridden need to avoid prolonged pressure on the ankles, heels and
buttock. Too much pressure can tear the thin skin leading to
bedsores. And itchiness, a very common problem among the elderly,
can be so irritating as to affect how we feel. Therefore, the
elderly and caregivers should know about proper skin care. |

“Keeping our Children Safe & Secure: Pandemic Flu & Emergency
Preparedness”
A DOD-MIST
Program For Military/Federal |
GETN-CDV

Scientists predict that the
world is due for an influenza pandemic—a global outbreak from a new strain
of flu—that would have a dramatic impact on our nation’s communities,
schools, and families. History tells us that flu pandemics are a reality:
in the past century alone, three of them caused widespread loss of life
and the wholesale disruption of societies small and large. A flu outbreak
today similar to the one that occurred in 1918 could potentially kill
millions and profoundly affect institutions such as our nation’s school
systems, which are teeming with children who are expected to have high
rates of infection and are more likely than adults to spread the illness. Expanded description at: Pan Flu & Emergency Preparedness 09 Apr 07 |

An
influenza pandemic occurs when a new virus emerges for which people have
little or no immunity, and for which there is no vaccine. The
disease spreads easily from person-to-person, causes serious illness, and
can sweep across the country and around the world in a very short time.
While it is difficult to predict when the next influenza pandemic will
occur, during the past 100 years, there have been three major pandemics:
1918-1919, 1957-1958, and 1968-1969. Expanded program description at: Are You Ready? Pan Flu Outbreak 09 Apr 07 |

Stable angina, chest pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart
muscle, is a common disorder affecting approximately 6.5 million people in
the United States. Although associated with diminished quality of
life and increased risk for future cardiovascular events, stable angina is
often not perceived as an eminent threat. Practice guidelines for
the management of chronic stable angina were published by the American
Heart Association (AHA) and the American Stroke Association (ASA) in 2003.
However, guideline-recommended treatments for stable angina are
underutilized and anginal symptoms are not adequately controlled in nearly
a third of patients. |

Stable angina, chest pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart

the United States. Although associated with diminished quality of
life and increased risk for future cardiovascular events, stable angina is
often not perceived as an eminent threat. Practice guidelines for
the management of chronic stable angina were published by the American
Heart Association (AHA) and the American Stroke Association (ASA) in 2003.
However, guideline-recommended treatments for stable angina are
underutilized and anginal symptoms are not adequately controlled in nearly
a third of patients.

A
sexual history is important for all patients because it provides
information identifying high-risk behaviors leading to an unintended
pregnancy and/or a sexually transmitted infection, including HIV.
Taking a thorough sexual history can also be a gateway for direct
essential risk reduction counseling. Many patients, and sometimes
the clinicians, are embarrassed or feel uncomfortable talking about sexual
issues. It is important for the provider to be competent and
professionally skilled in talking with the patient(s) in a non-threatening
manner, to find out what problems exist, and uncover the appropriate
background information and clinical history. With the right
consultation tools, a sexual history can be performed efficiently when
time is a critical factor in the clinic setting. |

“Under the
Influence: Identifying Drugged People” Available to both civilian, military & federal sites….. No CE Credits |
GETN-CDV |
Drugs cause people to
do strange things. While some drugs make people feel mellow, others
lead to hyperactivity and everything in between. Sometimes people act
"drunk" but there is no alcohol in the system, signaling other drugs might
be the cause. Usage of multiple types of drugs mixes the symptoms,
making things even more difficult. What's a first responder, new law
enforcement officer, parent, teacher, or concerned citizen to do when
encountering someone who is exhibiting strange behaviors that you just
can't figure out? |

“2007 Update: Symptom Management Strategies for Stable Angina” (Repeat)
A DOD-MIST Program For Military/Federal |
GETN-CDV |
Stable angina, chest pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart
muscle, is a common disorder affecting approximately 6.5 million people in
the United States. Although associated with diminished quality of
life and increased risk for future cardiovascular events, stable angina is
often not perceived as an eminent threat. Practice guidelines for
the management of chronic stable angina were published by the American
Heart Association (AHA) and the American Stroke Association (ASA) in 2003.
However, guideline-recommended treatments for stable angina are
underutilized and anginal symptoms are not adequately controlled in nearly
a third of patients. |

“Mass Shelters: Environmental Health Issues” (New)
A DOD-MIST Program For Military/Federal No CE Credits |
GETN-CDV |
Hurricanes are just one example of a catastrophic event when the public
health workforce must be ready to set up, staff and manage shelters for
those displaced by the disaster. Maintaining appropriate
environmental health standards is one of many considerations for those
responsible in setting up the shelters. Broadcast faculty will
examine the example of two mega shelters set up in Houston in the
aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Issues to be discussed
include food safety, housekeeping and sanitation procedures, infection and
outbreak control, pet shelters, and communication and staffing, including
the screening and management of volunteers.
