The nurse finds the client has a fungal infection (candidiasis) beneath both breasts. Washing hands after caring for the client is the protocol that the nurse should review  with the rest of the staff.

Candida albicans is an opportunistic yeast pathogen that is part of the human gut microbiota. It can also exist outside the human body.

It is detected in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth in 40-60% of healthy adults. It is usually a synchronous organism, but it can become pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals under various conditions.

It is one of the few species of the genus Candida that cause infectious candidiasis in humans, as a result of fungal overgrowth. For example, candidiasis is commonly seen in HIV-infected patients.

The organism Candida albicans, which causes infection, is part of the normal skin flora of most adults. Proper hand washing is all that is needed to prevent hospital spread.

galina1969 [7]

If brain death is confirmed, why does an individual's heart continue beating? As long as the heart has oxygen, it can continue to work. The ventilator provides enough oxygen to keep the heart beating for several hours. Without this artificial help, the heart would stop beating.
