case study:

Denise is a 45-year-old American female who has been admitted to the medical ward after having symptoms of food poisoning and skin rash. Her temperature has been over 38°C and she has been complaining of diarrhea and vomiting. Denise also presented with nasty looking skin rash on her upper and lower extremities. According to Denise, the skin rash has started since she swam in the Owens Lake (in California) 3 days ago. She stated that the rash started as small “red bumps” but started to get worse, deeper and more painful around a cut skin that she had sustained a week ago. She admits that she is not sure whether her current health conditions were caused by her swimming in the lake or because of the takeaway food that she also had on the same day. When Denise was asked about the takeaway food, she recalled that she thought the chicken was not fully cooked when she started eating it. Denise had a skin swab taken and a stool sample was sent for culture and sensitivity. The stool sample analysis confirmed food poisoning with Salmonella enterica and the skin swap results revealed Vibrio Cholerae skin infection.

Q1:

Q2:

Patients infected with Salmonella enterica usually recover within few days without antibiotics. Based on the factors affecting their growth, suggest one reason why this happens and give two ways of prevention from Salmonella infection.

Scenario 1: You see a skateboarder going down a hill and suddenly lose control, crashing into the gravel on the side of the bike path. The skateboarder was wearing a helmet and did not hit their head on the ground when they fell. You walk over to the skateboarder to see if you can help them and notice them struggling to sit up and moaning in pain. You notice blood on the pavement and look to find a large deep gash on the skateboarder’s thigh that is spurting blood. You are first aid certified and want to help. (1) What are the initial steps you should take when responding to this emergency? (2) How would you determine what your plan of care would be, and how would you care for the victim? Describe in detail.

Scenario 1 Continued: You have been applying pressure to the thigh with gauze pads, but the bleeding still continues and is still spurting. (1) With this new information how would you change your care? Describe in detail.

Scenario 2: You are playing a pickup game of basketball with your friends. During the game, one of the players trips over an untied shoelace and falls forward. As they are falling, they put their hands out in front of them to break their fall. They fall to the ground then yell in pain. You look over at them and they are sitting on the ground holding their arm close to their body. When you look at the arm you can see that their elbow is pointed at a weird angle and there is an obvious bump on the back of it. The athlete says that they felt a pop and they are unwilling to move their arm. (1) Describe in detail the initial steps you would take in this situation. (2) Explain how you would determine what your plan of care for the athlete should be.
