Case Study #6: A 20 year old male college student develops a fever after gall bladder surgery and has a pus exudate around the incision. You receive a cotton swab of the exudate which you streak on a blood agar plate. Bacterial colonies on the plate show B hemolysis, and microscopic examination reveals Gram + cocci occurring singly, in pairs, and in short chains. Further testing reveals that the isolate is catalase negative and phenol red fermentation broth with mannitol turns yellow. 1. What is the name of the most likely bacterium causing this infection? 2. What is the most likely place that this bacterium originated to cause this infection?

CASE STUDY Ruth, a 25 year office worker, decided to visit the doctor’s office after noticing changes in her body. She complained of severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and loss in appetite. But her biggest worries are her frequent skin itching, bloated belly and apparent yellowish pallor. After physically examining Ruth, the doctor ordered several laboratory tests. These include CBC, Coagulation studies, blood chemistry and Serologic tests. The results showed Prolonged Prothrombin time, increased INR, decreased blood proteins such as albumin, elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Her serology was reactive for the Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive for Total anti-HBc but negative for the anti-HBe and anti-HBs Answer the following questions, using the medical information of Ruth. 1. What do you think is the health issue of Ruth? Provide medical evidence.

SURG200 Ch. 10 Case Study A surgical technology student is completing rotation at the clinical site’s central sterile processing department. The preceptor notifies the student that a patient has just arrived in the emergency department with a gunshot wound to the chest, and the student needs to assemble a case cart containing everything that will—or might—be needed for the case. The patient will be in the OR in 10 minutes, so the student must quickly work. What instrument trays should be gathered for this case? What equipment must be in the room for this case? What supplies must be available for this case? Considering the extremely limited amount of time available, what should be opened first, and what can be opened as the case progresses? Please only answer questions 1 and 4.
