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.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?
Ivan

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.
