While the infection control team is intimately involved with infection control within patient and employee populations it also reports to other administration within the hospital to allow for transparency within the proceedings and to use the expertise of others within the hospital administration.

Another hospital acquired infection s urinary tract infections also known as UTI’s. A urinary tract infection occurs when a bacteria invades the urine and grows. The infection usually starts at the site of the opening of the urethra.

The nurse practice of medication preparation involves the medication knowledge and requirement of environment. To revise the drug information and clean up the trolley are important for nurse to promote safety care for patient. On the above case of ignoring hand washing before administration, nurses have to pay more awareness to prevent accident from contamination which related to the sufficiency of nursing knowledge. For the task-associated sub-dimension, administration of drug is complicated because the procedure is ensuring the safe medication intake for patient. The nursing task may not only separate the drug to patient but also the daily care for patient, for instance, to feed patient and give wound dressing.

Usually, the first step to treatment is debridement. It removes dead skin that is preventing healing. Sometimes, if there is a significant amount of decaying tissue, surgery must be done to remove it. Next, oral antibiotics are given to prevent any infection that is present from becoming systemic. Then, a rigorous wound care regimen is began, which consists of scrubbing the tissue with a disinfectant, and applying antibiotic ointment and fresh bandages.

Even though the rashes turned out to be from bed bugs’ bites, the physician’s approaches to medicine inspired and motivated me to further research the field of osteopathic medicine.

During the second week of class, I was provided with a scenario to develop personal caring techniques by engaging with and providing basic morning care to a standardized patient (SP) who suffers from a spinal cord injury (Bornais, J., El-Masri, M., Krahn, R. & Raiger, J., 2012). When caring for the SP, my partner and I began by completing a focused assessment of his nervous system and then preformed a bed bath, changed the soiled bedding, and completed a head-to-toe assessment. We finished this provision of care by feeding and moving him into his wheelchair via an assistive lift system. Background During the first few weeks of professional practice, I learned a variety of clinical skills including using a foam pad to move patients up in bed,

Epidemiologists accumulate data from symptoms of previous medical history, laboratory testing exam finding, and recent treatments that trainees and training staff had received when carrying out a given task. The medical records are reviewed from training and at the different hospitals which include a list of trainees who were too sick to take part in routine training and medical charts of also patients with pneumonia are included from troop companies if many training camps (Health, 2013). As it relates to the difficulties that Epidemiologists face around the world in gathering data on global diseases also to see how best they can aid in the fighting or control in the spread of these infectious diseases and formulate risk factors it can be
