Answer Preview
This care protocol provides a guideline for practitioners and scholars involved in the practice and study of rubella as a pathophysiological condition. The protocol is especially useful for healthcare practitioners. The first part includes the definition and background information on rubella and the subsequent section details the etiology of the pathophysiology. Other sections include the differential diagnosis of rubella and the underlying diagnostic workup. This protocol shows rubella as a highly contagious disease with severe implications on pregnant women. Although no single treatment method is suggested, preventive care such as vaccination and temporary isolation is highly recommended, especially for children and pregnant women.
