Week 3 Discussion Forum
For this week’s discussion, you are asked to research a bioterrorist disaster. Begin by reviewing the content of this week’s module, then research for a bioterrorist disaster. Be sure you have chosen a biological agent, not a chemical agent (see the textbook for assistance).
Give an example and details from a bioterrorist attack. (You can use any bioterrorist attack except for the 2001 Anthrax attacks in the US).
Address all of the following in your post:
- What was the classification of biological agent used in the attack? (Categories A, B, and C; see the textbook for assistance)
- Discuss the implications or clinical manifestations of the biological agent chosen.
- Discuss the therapy for the biological agent.
- What are the decontamination procedures (for person exposed) for the biological agent used in the attack?
- Define the appropriate level of PPE required for this type of biological agent?
- APA 7 Formatting, at least 12 sentences
Support your answer with evidence from scholarly sources (reference and cite your sources).
