Closer to modern veterinary surgery as opposed to modern human surgery. Common to leave wound open and to let heal from the inside out (like vets do). Left open so can clean when need to. Trepanation: drilling into skull to remove a chuck of skull. Also used to remove parts of fractured skull to heal. Cut skin away and then begin to probe to find injury. Then take a drill (bow drill, etc. ) to drill a hole. Then use a rasp to scrape around that area. Ex: depressed cranial fracture caused by sling bullet. Greek surgery case study: philip ii of macedon. Archer defending city he was attacking, shot out and the arrow pierced philips right eye.

Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive entericpathogen that is a significant concern in hospital settings due toresistance to many types of antibiotics. A healthy individual cannormally resist infection by this pathogen, but under certainconditions an individual can become infected and develop severecolitis that can be life-threatening. One such condition istreatment of patients with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

A. Given that infection by this pathogen occurs under certainconditions, such as broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment, how wouldyou characterize this pathogen? (3 points)

B. Other factors that may contribute to developing C.difficile infection are changes in the gastrointestinal florawith age or disease, gastrointestinal surgery and use ofantiperistaltic drugs. Why do you think these factors influenceC. difficile infection? You donât have to explain eachfactor individually, just think about the common basis of thesefactors. Hint: think about the human relationship with the majorityof microbes in the gut. (7 points)

Z.O. is a 3-year-old boy with no significant medical history. He is brought into the emergency department (ED) by the emergency medical technicians after experiencing a seizure lasting 3 minutes. His parents report no previous history that might contribute to the seizure. Upon questioning, they state that they have noticed that he has been irritable, has had a poor appetite, and has been clumsier than usual over the past 2 to 3 weeks. Z.O. and his family are admitted for diagnosis and treatment for a suspected brain tumor. A CT scan of the brain shows a 1-cm mass in the posterior fossa region of the brain, and Z.O. is diagnosed with a cerebellar astrocytoma. The tumor is contained, and the treatment plan will consist of a surgical resection followed by chemotherapy.
Z.O. returns to the unit after surgery. He is arousable and answers questions appropriately. His pupils are equal and reactive to light. He has a dressing to his head with small amount of serosanguineous drainage. His IV is intact and infusing to a new central venous line as ordered. His breath sounds are equal and clear, and O 2 saturations are 98% on room air. You get him settled in his bed and leave the room.

Z.O.'s wound and neurologic status are monitored, and he continues to improve. Z.O. is transferred to the Oncology Service on postoperative day 7 for initiation of chemotherapy.

5. Outline a plan of care that addresses common risks secondary to chemotherapy, describing at least two nursing interventions that would be appropriate for managing risks for infection, bleeding, dehydration, altered growth and nutrition, altered skin integrity, and body image.
