1. A child comes into your ER crying, with a fever, stiff neck, and you suspect bacterial menegitis. List and describle each step in sequence that you would use to decide within antibiotic to use and how much?

 

2. You prick your finger with a rose thorn and microogranisms are introduced. Explain how these non-specific immune resposes act to protect you from pathogens.

 

A. Phagocytosis

B. Complement (against bacteria)

C. Interferon (against viruses)

 

Your help woulod be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to cheat through med school?

I am just a college student in Junior College for that matter just preparing for a test.

What exactly is it you want us to do?

 

I mean, presumably you don't know how to go about answering the questions, but you haven't stated which parts are giving you problems.

1. you mention "Suspect" surely it would be wise to determine what it is for SURE 1`st?

 

maybe this will help: http://www.uspharmacist.com/oldformat.asp?url=newlook/files/feat/meningitis.htm

 

2. I`de probably ask when was the last time they had a tetanus shot/booster, other than that I`de put a plaster on it and wave goodbye

Have you even tried looking around for answers?

Although the first post looks like test questions, the title of the thread suggests to me that it might actually be the approach to structuring the answers that's being asked about. It's not very clear.

YT2095,

 

Thank you for the helpful link, sorry everyone from not being clear enough its my first post.

 

I kinda had an idea for the 1st situation.

 

Thanks again.

Jess
