that all these levels are interactive with each other and that these interactions determine the overall preparedness of the population as a whole in the even of a national emergency
(Beaton, et al, 2008). The following discussion considers how the IOM ecological model framework could be applied to bioterrorism. The topic of bioterrorism is a highly significant global health
priority issue because the havoc that bioterrorist activities could potential wreck with global public health. For example, consider this possible worst-case scenario: a nurse who presented with a case
that appears to be severe flu, as the patient complains of "fever, body aches, nausea and chills, as well as a rash consisting of dense, firm lesions" (Bryant, 2005, p.
34). The rash is interpreted as chickenpox and the patient is sent home with Ibuprofen for fever and an antihistamine, only to die a few days later (Bryant, 2005).

in 1980, anyone born after that date has not been inoculated against this deadly killer. There is no reason, other than bioterrorism, for a healthcare practitioner to be alert for
this possible diagnosis. Similarly, a real-life situation occurred just one week after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. An assistant to NBC anchor Tom Brokaw handled a letter that
