After teaching a class to a group of nursing students about reporting infectious diseases to the centers for disease control and prevention, the instructor determines a need for additional discussion when the students identify which infection as being reportable:

Pin worm.

Explanation:

According to CDC list of reportable diseases, pin worms are not present in the list because they did not cause any disease of highest public health concern. When the students identified pin worm as the infection to be reported, the instructor decided to elaborate more on the CDC list of reportable diseases.
