This assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of the complexities of sex and gender as they impact a specific group of healthcare professionals today.

Create a ten minute paper in which you tell and engaging and informative story to a target group of healthcare professionals such as radiologist, dental technicians, PTAs, respiratory therapist, or administrators.

Your story can be fun my or serious, but it should convey the following information in whatever order makes since to you:

Identify new approaches to gender-base care— such as training medical personal, changing clinical procedures, altering therapies, and drugs development—that might benefit patients of sexes and explain why you consider them to be important.(6 points)

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 don’t 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)

Ionic bonds are formed when two opposite charged ions (formed when atoms lose or gain electrons) encounter each other. These bonds can be viewed as “extreme polar covalent bonds” as one atom is in total control of the other’s electron(s). Why are ionic bonds so much weaker when they are in water?

A. Ionic compounds such as salts are hydrophilic, so they prefer to form bonds with water molecules over other compounds.
B. Water molecules readily form covalent bonds to charged particles and, as these bonds are stronger than ionic bonds, the ionic bonds are pulled apart.
C. Water molecules shorten the size of covalent bonds and this weakens ionic interactions.
D. Water molecules readily donate electrons and nullify the positively charged ions.
E. Polar water molecules can physically interfere with the polar (positive/ negative) charged attraction between ions and thus the ionic bonds are disrupted and weakened.
