Essay Instructions: TO THE WRITER
Please let me know if you need more explanation about what you need, I don?t wish for you to have too little material to work with.

I sent all the instructions from the professor what is expected, I also sent the hospital site so you can have an idea about what to say about the hospital or if I am the one who should do something about it

Please use only websites that I sent to you, if you use others, they have to be scholarly journals and I?d like to have the references

Essay Instructions: Choose a current infection control issue using a recent journal article as your prime source of information. The article's publication date must be either this year or last year. The topic must be approved by the Course Convenor (refer to dates in Study Chart). Write a brief summary of the paper, and critically analyse the infection control issues using the current infection control guidelines* and other relevant, recent, scientific literature. A critical analysis is defined in 'The Written Assignment' (Lewis, 2002, p7 - full citation is shown on the Resources webpage) in the following way: 'It therefore involves much more than understanding what you read and identifying and summarising key points. It also involves:

* analysing the information to discover the key themes and arguments in the literature;
* comparing and contrasting what various authors believe about a topic; and
* evaluating the research / thinking of the authors you have read.'

* The guidelines (and the full name of the document) are available at the Australian Government website: www.icg.health.gov.au
There are faxes for this order.

Essay Instructions: Case Study
The patient was an 18 month old female who presented to the emergency room with fever, a diffuse rash (onset 5 days ago), and swollen right hand. On examination, she was irritable but alert. Her temperature was 39C and her heart rate was 180 beats per minute. She had diffuse vesiculopustular lesions over her entire body, with some areas showing older, crusted lesions. She had cellulitis of the right hand manifested by marked erythema, swelling, and tenderness. there were no mouth lesions, the lungs were clear, and the liver and speen were not enlarged. Laboratory data were significant only for leukocytosis, with a white blood cell count of 15,800/?l with 88% neutrophils. The chest radiograph was clear. A radiograph of the right hand showed only soft tissue swelling. The patient was treated with intravenous cefazolin. improvment in the condition of her right hand was notable within 48 hours. The patient had a systemic viral infection with a complication of bacterial superinfection (Cellulitis).
In Addition to identifying this infectionus disease and the infectious agent, Answer the following questions:
1. Which complications other that bacterial superinfection can occur as a result of this viral infection?

2. Which specific antiviral therapy has been shown to be helpful?

3. What are the infection control issues related to this patient's illness?

4. How can this disease be prevented?

Also include your interpretation of relevant history
Here is an Example:
( here you should tell me how you figured out your case study. in other words, I would like to know your thought process. you should be sure to explain all medical terminalogy and also interpret any lab or clinical data.)
Example
1.Twelve year-old female
-unlikely that this is a disease of the debilitated and elderly.
2. Previously in good health
-more evidence that this is not a chronic disease or an opportunistic disease.
3. Has had a fever for several days
-in most cases fever is a good sign of current infection
4. There is a large rash on her back.
-Could be the "bulls eye" rash of Lyme disease since the rash of Rocky Mountain fever starts on the hands and feet and is not locolized to the back.
5. She lives in Connecticut near the NY border.
- this is an endemic area for Lyme disease.
6. She has been walking through tall grasses
-This is a likely place to pick up ticks.
