Answer:

Notify HCP immediately.

Explanation:

The situation describes surgical wound dehiscence. Specifically - fascial dehiscence (since a loop of bowel is protruding through). Because the fascia has dehisced, this is a surgical emergency as the patient is now at very high risk of life-threatining infection. It wouldn't be as serious if it was just skin/subcutaneous tissue dehiscence because the main barrier between inside and outside is still intact.

HCP must be notified because this patient needs to go back to the OR immediately for repair.

Assisting in Pulmonary and Cardiology Medicine and Performing EKGs: Professionalism Assignment
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sooo I'm literally in high school but I wanna be a doctor so I'm gonna see if I can answer this with some course of knowledge. So I'm assuming that since hes a male medical <u>assistant,</u> and the girl is 18, he is allowed to preform an EKG? I also know that if he has proper training he can preform an EKG. It seems kinda weird that no other staff attendees were in the exam room, and how she was instructed to remove her clothing and was obviously not comfortable. He should have asked the girl if she wanted someone else in the room with her, such as a female medical assistant or even just another female. I think he should have also given her something to drape over herself, once the pads were in place. Maybe since she didn't have a drape over her she became cold, and anxious. That's all I can really answer:)

Explain how we know that ancient civilizations knew of and were concerned about infectious diseases.
Pie
Well, we know that a lot of the ancient civilizations were first-handedly affected by disease. For example, Native Americans were severely impacted by the spread of pestilence. 90% of their population was completely killed off. I think that would be enough to concern them, don't you think? :P

Principles of management
oksian1 [2.3K]

<u>Behavior of Jack, the manager:</u>

Jack is the manager, he does have the authority to correct Samantha but it is also his responsibility to make Samantha comfortable. He could have explained the situation to her calmly and make her understand the problem.

He failed to some extent but he could rectify the mistake by apologizing and providing Samantha a clear explanation about how she can improve her performance. If Samantha does go to the PR and reports Jack, both of them leave the problem unsolved indicating lack of proper communication.

A manager should be able to interact well with their workers and make them see the benefits for the company and their personal interests and then invest their effort into better performance.
