Concept explainers
(a)
To explain:
Whether there is a greater risk for E.coli O157:H7 infection when consuming a hamburger as compared to consuming a steak.
Introduction:
Foodborne illness or food-poisoning is a type of illness or infection is caused by consumption of food contaminated with bacteria, virus,
(b)
To discuss:
Whether or not food poisoning can still occur after consuming a reheated pot of soup known to be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus.

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome3. Sepsis4. Necrotizing Enterocolitis5. Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension in Newborns6. Retinopathy of prematurity7. Intraventricular Hemorrhage8. Intracranial Hemorrhage The components should include the following: 1) predisposing and/or precipitating factors; 2) a simple pathophysiology; 3) clinical manifestations; 4) diagnostic procedure (if applicable); 5) medical/surgical management; 6) nursing interventions and nursing diagnosis.arrow_forwardCase Study. A 3-year-old severely ill child was admitted to a hospital with symptoms of diarrhea, fever, and malaise. Laboratory testing showed abnormal renal and liver values and anemia. She had no history of previous illness, and her food history was a recent meal of teriyaki beef consumed at a local restaurant. a. What was the probable pathogen? b. What was the likely source? c.

- Case Study . Several persons working in an exercise gym acquired an acute disease characterized by fever, cough, pneumonia, and headache. Treatment with erythromycin cleared it up. The source was never found, but an environmental focus was suspected.a. What do you think might have caused the disease? b. People in a different gym got skin lesions after sitting in a redwood hot tub. Which pathogen could have caused that?arrow_forwardb.
