    During my clinical rotation at Palmetto Richland on the Acute Care for the Elderly unit there were several patients on contact precautions due primarily to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or high counts of gram-positive Escherichia coli bacterium (E. coli) in the urine and blood. A good example of best practice that I witnessed was the proper display and implementation of contact precautions around patients with multidrug-resistant organisms and bacteria (MDROs). If a patient is placed on contact precautions on this ACE unit floor, a large blue hanging bag, called an isolation precaution bag, is hung outside their room containing gloves and gowns. The nurse is to put on the glove and gown before entering the room and making contact with the patient.…

    The case of Lau v Nichols involved non-English-speaking students of Chinese ancestry in the San Francisco, CA school district. Of the 2,800 non-English-speaking students, about 1,800 did not receive specialized English language learning instruction (Summary of Lau v Nichols 1974). This prompted the students not receiving additional English instruction to file a class-action suit against the officials of the San Francisco School District (Summary of Lau v Nichols 1974). Both the district court and the Court of Appeals affirmed the position of the San Francisco School District that they were not required by law to provide English Language Learner services to non-English speakers. The Court of Appeals held that every student brings their own unique background, skills,…

    There are a variety of different factors promoting or inhibiting post-operative wound healing. Rund et al (1) covers many factors linked to wound healing such as smoking, oxygen availability, nutrition, hyperglycemia, alcohol intake, and patient adherence. First of all, smoking exerts a pervert effect on peripheral vasculature. For instance, a single cigarette causes a decrease in O2 because of ligation of carbon monoxide (CO) to hemoglobin and nicotine has an added effect of peripheral vasoconstriction lasting almost an hour. By this dual mechanism, tissue oxygenation around the wound borders, the scar or the graft is greatly diminished and can compromise healing.…

    INTRODUCTION: Many local government officials may not see planning as a priority, and even more often they do not believe that disasters will affect their communities. Often those officials see the training needed for an effective emergency management plan as an expensive and believe that the costs associated with training and planning outweigh the benefit of the end result (Petak, 1985; Condrey, 2010). However, proper emergency planning will enhance effective implementation during disaster response and recovery.…

    First off, I would ensure that the proper PPE is worn and that proper hand hygiene is performed. The PPE that a healthcare worker would have to wear is gloves and a gown since the disease is contracted through an fecal-oral route. Proper signage should be placed at the hospital and the school to ensure the safety of staff, students, and healthcare providers. The two main signs that should be placed are a sign showing how to properly wash your hands, and a contact precautions sign on the doors of the patients. The healthcare facility should have gowns and gloves in stock for both staff and visitors since the disease is spread through contact, and we want to minimize direct and indirect contact as much as possible to stop the spread of the disease.…
