The most important action would be allowing the tops of the blood culture bottles to dry after cleaning.

If the nurse is going to take blood cultures from an infected patient, the most important action will be:

  • Let the culture bottle cap dry after cleaning.
  • Replace the needle of the syringe containing the sample before inoculating the culture bottles.
  • Use two different sampling locations for sampling.

A blood culture is a test that checks your blood for foreign invaders like bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms.

The presence of these pathogens in your blood could be a sign of a condition known as sepsis. Sepsis is a medical emergency and you will be hospitalized for treatment.

A positive blood culture result means you have bacteria in your blood.

How could genetic drift explain differences in the genotype frequencies among the caucasian and aborigine populations?
Novay_Z [31]

Genetic drift occurs when there is no random mating across a population. This causes a change in allelic frequency due to a random sampling of the population.

As the aboriginal population explored the earth,  a small part of the population became geographically isolated either due to continental drift and climate changes. As the isolated population grew bigger, they established their own gene pool. This resulted a change in genotypic frequencies from that of the aboriginal population.
