Answer:

Sepsis

Explanation:

Because sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have triggered a chain reaction throughout your body. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract. Bowel Perforation can cause the abdomen to spill out its contents thus causing an infection and triggering all the symptoms this 30 y/o woman has.

The likely complication that the patient is suffering from intestinal perforation is <u>sepsis</u>

<h3>Intestinal perforation and sepsis</h3>

Perforation (formation of a hole) can occur in any hollow digestive organ, which causes release of gastrointestinal contents and can lead to sepsis (a potentially fatal bloodstream infection) and death if surgery is not performed immediately.

With this information, we can conclude that intestinal perforation can lead to sepsis and, if not treated urgently, the death of the patient.

wariber [46]
I’m pretty sure forensic science is a health science profession... but

1. Accurately represent his/her education, training, experience, and areas of expertise.

2. Pursue professional competency through training, proficiency testing, certification, and
presentation and publication of research findings.

3. Commit to continuous learning in the forensic disciplines and stay abreast of new findings, equipment and techniques.

4. Promote validation and incorporation of new technologies, guarding against the use of non-valid methods in casework and the misapplication of validated methods.

5. Avoid tampering, adulteration, loss, or unnecessary consumption of evidentiary materials.

6. Avoid participation in any case where there are personal, financial, employment-related or other conflicts of interest.

7. Conduct full, fair and unbiased examinations, leading to independent, impartial, and objective opinions and conclusions.

8. Make and retain full, contemporaneous, clear and accurate written records of all examinations and tests conducted and conclusions drawn, in sufficient detail to allow meaningful review and assessment by an independent person competent in the field.

9. Base conclusions on generally-accepted procedures supported by sufficient data, standards and controls, not on political pressure or other outside influence.

10. Do not render conclusions that are outside one’s expertise.

11. Prepare reports in unambiguous terms, clearly distinguishing data from interpretations
and opinions, and disclosing all known associated limitations that prevent invalid inferences or mislead the judge or jury.

12. Do not alter reports or other records, or withhold information from reports for strategic or tactical litigation advantage.

13. Present accurate and complete data in reports, oral and written presentations and testimony based on good scientific practices and validated methods.

14. Communicate honestly and fully, once a report is issued, with all parties (investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other expert witnesses), unless prohibited by law.

15. Document and notify management or quality assurance personnel of adverse events, such as an unintended mistake or a breach of ethical, legal, scientific standards, or questionable conduct.

16. Ensure reporting, through proper management channels, to all impacted scientific and legal parties of any adverse event that affects a previously issued report or testimony.
