SOLVED105

Help pls . Consider the following scenario: You are working as a patient care technician assisting a nurse with a wound care treatment in an emergency room. Another patient, aged 3 years old, comes in with burns from knocking over a boiling pot on the stove. You hear the nurse taking care of the three year old yelling for help so he can insert an IV in the patient. You run over to help as your nurse does not need you at that moment. You assist the nurse that has the three year old by helping secure his arm. The skin on his arm is broken due to the burn. After assisting the second nurse, you realize you forgot to take off the gloves you had on while assisting the first nurse with the wound. You touched the three year old with those gloves. Later, the cultures on that person’s wound come back positive for MRSA. The three year old is also tested and has MRSA as well. The three year old has to take Vancomycin for six months. The three year old then experiences liver failure from this medication. The three year old then has to get a liver transplant and take immunosuppression medications for the rest of his life. The first patient only had the MRSA in the wound bed and did not need to take Vancomycin. 1. What is the infectious agent in this case? (One sentence) 2. What is the reservoir of the infectious agent? (Where did the infectious agent live before infecting the three year old?) One sentence. 3. The portal of exit is very tricky on this . The portal of exit was the treatment of the wound that the patient care technician assisted the first nurse in completing. 4. What was the mode of transmission? (One sentence) 5. What was the portal of entry? (One sentence) 6. Who was the susceptible host? (One sentence) 7. What do you think should happen to the patient care technician if anything? How would you feel if this occurred to someone you knew? What are you going to do to protect patients as a healthcare worker? (Six sentences in total).
