A 10-year-old boy arrives with his mother at the emergency department after being bitten by a stray dog. He has sustained a soft

tissue injury on the inner aspect of the left forearm, and it is bleeding. What is the priority nursing action?
1
Asking the mother whether her son is allergic to horse serum
2
Assessing the injury and the child's vital signs and health history
3
Inoculating the child with human rabies immunoglobulin
4
Notifying the police department to capture and test the dog
2.
For effective decisions to be made, baseline information on the child's condition, extent of injury, and significant health history are required first. Hyperimmune antirabies serum is not a preferred treatment. Inoculation for establishment of short-term, passive immunity to rabies follows initial care of injuries; the priority is assessment and treatment of the injury. Authorities should be notified after the injured child has received care.

Answer:

Explanation:

You will know more about the answer if you know what a Staphylococcus auerus is.

Staphylococcus aureus (Staph)- This is a common foodborne pathogen that causes <u>food poisoning.</u> This is a bacteria which can be commonly found on a person's skin and the upper respiratory tract. This doesn't directly cause illness to humans unless transmitted through food. This is commonly found in unpasteurized products such as dairy products.

The statement above says that Mike ate plain deli meat from the refrigerator. Staph are also common in deli meats or any kind of meat that have come in contact with a person's hands. <u>Deli meats are also precooked, so they don't need to be cooked. </u><u><em>This makes it even easier for staph to dwell and multiply.</em></u> Once they multiply, they can be poisonous to the human body.  

Symptoms of Staph Infection are: nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea.

In order to prevent getting infected, it is very important to wash your hands with soap and water and be mindful of the food preparation techniques, cooking and storage condition.

ad-work [718]

Answer and Explanation:

   Tuberculosis is an infectious and transmissible disease that primarily affects the lungs, although it can affect other organs and / or systems. The disease is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Koch's bacillus.  It is an air spread disease and occurs from the inhalation of aerosols from the airways during the speech, sneezing, or coughing of people with active tuberculosis, who release aerosol-containing particles into the air that contain the bacillus.

    With the initiation of treatment, transmission tends to decrease gradually and, generally, after 15 days of treatment, it is greatly reduced.  However, control measures should be implemented such as covering the mouth with the arm or handkerchief when coughing, keeping the environment well ventilated and with plenty of sunlight.  The bacillus is sensitive to sunlight, and air circulation enables dispersion of infecting particles. Thus, ventilated environments with direct natural light reduce the risk of transmission.

   So the program was sucessful if the number of patients decreased, as the disease can be controlled veru easily by that measures controls listed above.
