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.

1. Explain how the traits of an organism are related to the genes in DNA.
viktelen [127]

Genes in DNA or responsible for the traits an organism has. This is caused by Dominant and Recessive Traits. Remember that Genotypes are the genetic letters such as RR, Rr, and rr. Phenotype is physical traits.

Dominant Traits are more likely or always show in the offspring. The Dominant Genotype uses Capital letters such as RR.

Recessive Traits are less likely to show up. Their Genotype use lower case such as rr. Now genotypes of Rr have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. If the dominant trait was black fur and the recessive white fur, the offspring will be black fur because dominant traits overpower the other.

To understand how to know if an organism will have Dominant or Recessive Genes, you have to use something called a Punnet Square. Lets imagine 2 parents both have the genotype Rr. R is Black fur and r is white fur. As you can see from the chart, 3 of 4 boxes have Rr and 1 rr. Since there is a Dominant Trait with a Recessive, they will show a Dominant Phenotype, or Black fur. This has 3/4 chance and a 1/4 chance for white fur in the offspring.
