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.

When administering adenosine, which action by the nurse is correct?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

When administering adenosine, the nurse must inject it through the IV push route.

Explanation:

Adenosine belongs to the drug class of antidysrhythmics and hence proper care and monitoring should be taken to avoid any adverse or side effects while or after administering the dose. Adenosine should be injected only via the IV route. The injection should be made close to an IV site, so as to flush each time with NS. The patient’s heart conditions should be monitored continuously on an ECG monitor and blood pressure machine. The dosage levels should match with the age appropriately. Adverse reactions of adenosine may include transient arrhythmias, bronchospasms, dyspnea etc.

Whether someone with a diathesis develops the disorder is determined by
stepan [7]

Answer:

The Diathesis-Stress Model explains that psychological disorders derive from the combination of a predisposition to vulnerability or diathesis, as an innate factor, together with experiences of stress as an acquired factor. Therefore, innate factors and acquired factors are needed to develop certain disorder.

Explanation:

From the perspective of the diathesis-stress model, a disorder is the result of the interaction between a genetic predisposition or vulnerability (diathesis), with external factors or personal experiences (stress). This model is used to explain the development of mental disorders with a clear genetic basis, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc. The appearance of the disorder will depend on the combination of both factors. The more genetic predisposition you are, the more likely you are to develop these low-stress diseases. And on the contrary, a low predisposition protects us from suffering a mental disorder, even if different stressors occur in our life.
