Question

A patient has saved her vanilla pudding and milk from her lunch tray. As you assist her with evening care in preparation for bed, the food and drink are still there. When you offer to remove them, the patient says. "No. I might wake up and be a little hungry and cat it tonight." How will you respond? a. "That is fine. We can remove it with your breakfast tray in the morning." b. "Microorganisms could be growing in it that would make you sick if you cat it." c. "If you wake up hungry, push your call light and I will bring you a fresh snack". d. "Well, you paid for this food, so you can do whatever you would like with it." A patient is admitted to the hospital after a motorcycle accident. He has many skin abrasions (deep scrapes) and cuts with dirt and gravel embedded in them. This patient also has had diabetes for 10 years. He works two jobs and gets very little sleep. He eats only one meal per day and snacks at night if he has time. After 2 days, he develops reddened, warm areas around the abrasions and cuts. His temperature rises to 102 degree F (38.9 degree C), and his white blood count is also elevated. Why is this patient at risk for development of an infection? How is his body attempting to prevent overwhelming infection?

Explanation / Answer

52)

As icecream and pudding are the sources where microorganism can rapidly grow and make the person sicker than before. And when the patient is already ill, allowing the patient to have such food can be a major problem. So it is better them to educate by telling them how microorganisms grow on this food and they will make you sick.

So option B is the correct answer.
