Answer: The technician would expect to see "purple, spherical-shaped organisms arranged in chainlike formations." This will give the gram stain confirmation of having streptococcus pyogenes. With the confirmation, the patient can receive antibiotics to kill off the bacterial organisms. Usually, penicillin is given in these cases unless the patient is allergic.
The technician is taught in school how to look for each strain since it is important to diagnosis this correctly. If the gram stain had of been pink or purple with grapelike clusters, it would have not of been Strep and there would have been a different diagnosis.
Bacteria strains are different shapes, various sizes, and can be found in multiple arrangements. Since the wall of the cell is rigid, the bacteria will not lose the shape. The bacteria have to separate parts, the shape and how they are arranged. When there are grape-like structures it indicates staphylo. The chains will indicate the presence of strepto. The shapes that are rods will be bacilli, the spiral ones will be spirillum, and the sphere shapes are cocci.
Almost everybody exhibits bad posture during some parts of the day. Among the most common problems are flexed or sloping shoulders, a rounded upper back and a chin that juts too high or forward. Many people tend to extend their necks like turtles (especially when doing computer work), which can really stress the neck.
hope this helps :)
Answer: Reye's Syndrome
Explanation:
The use of acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin is limit in children under 16 years old to treat fever or pain, as this substance is associated with a rare but serious complication, especially during chickenpox and flu, called Reye's syndrome. Although this syndrome is not yet fully understood, there are several studies relating Reye's Syndrome to the use of salicylate-containing medicines, including acetylsalicylic acid. Thus, the onset of this syndrome in children is related to the administration of infant aspirin. Reye's syndrome mainly affects children between 4 and 14 years. The symptoms of this syndrome are added to those already suffered by the child due to the viral process that affects them, such as the flu or chickenpox. The most common are vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness and irritability. Later, the child may be confused, with muscle weakness, and even seizure and lose consciousness.
