What kinds of clinical specimens may yield a mixed flora in bacterial cultures? Oral, Skin, or GI specimens 5. When more than one colony type appears in pure culture, what are the most likely sources of extraneous contamination? Individual colonies can be picked up on the inoculating loop, or straight wire and inoculated in to the fresh agar or brother media References Cowan, M. K. (2012).

Your answer: yes;results showed they have partial identity Activity 3: Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Lab Report 1. Describe how the direct and indirect ELISA are different. Your answer: Direct ELISA is directly looking for the foreign substance. The microtiter plate is coated with homologous antibodies made against the antigen of interest If the antigen is present, a sandwich of antibody, antigen and secondary antibody will form Indirect ELISA is designed to detect antibodies that the patient has made against the antigen.The microtiter plate is coated with

In order to identify the unknown organism a series of tests were performed. The tests used were glucose, sucrose, lactose fermentation; Urease, motility, MR-VP, citrate, oxidase, and indole these tests were used to identify the genus of the unknown and a McConkey agar plate was used to differentiate and confirm the species of the unknown. This report will explain and give more in depth reasons why certain tests were done and the results yielded from them. Materials & Methods On the first day after receiving the unknown microorganism a streak plate was aseptically done as shown in exercise 2 of the lad manual (Kleyn 9). The streak plate technique is done to isolate a colony formed by a single cell from a mixture containing millions of cells.
What diagnostic findings differentiate meningitis from encephalitis? 6. What classes of medications would most likely be prescribed for a client with acute bacterial meningitis and identify 2 nursing implications for each medication listed (e.g., Verify allergies, assess renal and hepatic function (if risk for toxic effects on these systems)? 7. Explain essential nursing
Part 1: The five phases of behavior assessment are (a) screening and general disposition, (b) defining and generally quantifying problems or desired achievement criteria, (c) pinpointing the target behavior(s) to be treated, (d) monitoring progress and (e) following up (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007). Screening and general disposition is used to discover and identify any number of variables that may influence the occurrence of problem behaviors. Defining and generally quantifying problems or desired achievement criteria is when you establish the goal for change and the steps required to achieve it. Pinpointing the target behavior(s) to be treated is when you specifying target behaviors. Monitoring progress is when you work on the procedures needed for reorganization and observation of the changed behavior.

Santulli, DC,USN Chief, Fixed Prosthodontics Naval Postgraduate School Bethesda, MD FIXED PROSTHODONTICS REVIEW DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING CONCEPTS Diagnosis- A data collection process used to identify an existing diseased or abnormal condition, to investigate the condition and determine its cause. It is based on the gathered diagnostic information. Prognosis- A prediction of a probable development and outcome of a disease. It involves subjective probability and can be formulated using frequencies along with clinical experiences and evidenced-based clinical studies.

Determine three patient safety issues that are being addressed by your health care organization. Identify the actions the organization is taking or identify three issues that you think need to be addressed by health care organizations. Make suggestion for actions to be taken. Support your responses with two peer-reviewed references. HLT 308V Week 4 DQ 2 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), and The Joint Commission (TJC) have identified the necessity for health care organizations to have a risk management program to address infection control.
