5-21 days (average 6-13 days)
203
what is the period of communicability of monkeypox
- 5 days prior to rash until all lesion scabs have fallen off & intact skin is underneath (3-4 weeks)
204
what are the 2 phases of monkeypox
- invasion (prodromal) - skin eruption
205
describe the invasion (prodormal) phase of monkeypox (9)
- fever - chills - lymphadenopathy - headache - mylagia - arthralgia - back pain - weakness - fatigue
206
how long does the invasion phase of monkeypox last
0-5 days
207

1-3 days after onset of fever & lasts 2-4 weeks
208
describe the skin eruption phase of monkeypox
- face or extremities, hands, feet, mouth, genital, and perianal area - rash --> macules to papules to vesicles to pustules... scab over
209
describe the diagnosis of monkeypox
- swab skin lesions (presence of MPX virus DNA by PCR or isolation of MPX virus)
210
what is the role of the PHN r/t monkey pox (4)
- mngmt of case - mngmt of contacts - pre-exposure protocol vaccination (PrEP) - post exposure protocol (PEP)
211
describe the PHN mngmt of case r/t monkeypox (3)
- isolation while awaiting diagnosis - isolation precautions during period of communicability (3-4 weeks) - active monitoring by public health thru isolation period
212
describe the PHN's mngmt of contacts r/t monkeypox (4)
- self isolation not required if asymptomatic - monitor for 21 days - consult w occupational health if work in high-risk setting - PEP with Imvamune vaccine
213
describe the PrEP vaccination r/t monkeypox
- 2 doses imvamune 28 days apart
214
what is the eligibility for PrEP
- cisgender, transgender, or two-spirit people who self identify as part of the gbMSM community & meet one of the following criteria: ---> dx of STI in past year ---> 2 or more sexual partners in last 90 days ---> attended locations for sexual contact ---> anonymous sex in past 90 days - any sexual contacts of individuals described above - individuals who self-identify as sex workers - staff/volunteers in sex-on-premises venues where workers may have contact with objects/material that may be contaminated with MPX virus without PPE
215
describe PEP for monkeypox
- close contacts of confirmed/probably case
216
what are challenges r/t monkeypox (4)
- pandemic fatigue - lack of knowledge - vaccine supply - communication strategy
217
describe the history of monkeypox vs polio
- monkeypox = little/no history - polio = history of disease
218
describe the vaccines for monkeypox vs polio
- monkeypox = gbMSM population, limited vaccine - polio = unvaccinated populations, vaccine supply ++
219
describe community engagement for monkeypox vs polio
- monkey pox = reduce stigma and misinfo, global coordination & collab - polio = address misinformation, global coordination & collab

223
what are indicators of hep A
- acute hepatitis
224
what are nursing considerations for hep A (4)
- vaccination (travel) - bed rest - avoiding hepato toxins - nutrition
225
describe vaccine document administration (3)
- the personal immunization record held by the vaccine recipient, or his or her parent/guardian - the record maintained by the HCP who administered the vaccine - the local provincial or territorial immunization registry (if one has been restablished)
226
