A1. Procedure The preoperative procedure of using with chlorhexidine-alcohol (CHG) before surgery has been proven to be more effective to reduce the number of surgical site infections (SSI) than the use of povidone iodine. By reducing the number of infections post surgery‚ it can lower patient morbidity and can reduce hospital stay time and eliminate further unnecessary costs. A2a. Basis for Practice (who determined ) The basis for changing the method of using chlorhexidine-alcohol bath

Experiment 8 Unique # 51070 The main purpose of the experiment involves two oxidation-reduction reactions to calculate the oxidizing capacity of a sample of unknown bleach. In order to determine the volume of Na2S2O3 added‚ students will conduct a titration of bleach with thiosulfate with addition of a starch indicator to find the end point of the titration. Moreover‚ the oxidizing capacity of bleach is calculated with the percentage by mass of NaOCl in the unknown bleach sample. The overall

cost-efficient‚ yet most under-utilized‚ staining method used to identify bacteria. It consists of a basic dye (the primary stain crystal violet)‚ a mordant (Gram ’s iodine)‚ decolorizer (acetone:alcohol) and a counter stain (safranin). A mordant is a compound which helps hold the primary stain to the bacteria. In this case‚ the iodine forms a complex with the crystal violet to "lock it into" the cell wall/membrane. The decolorizer is used to decolorize the bacteria that "do not like" the primary stain

take advantage of the fact that different types of molecules have different functional groups and‚ therefor‚ different chemical properties. Thus‚ they will react to test reagents (also called indicators) differently. Materials: Biuret‚ Sudan III‚ Iodine‚ Benedict‚ water‚ hot plate‚ paper towels‚ pipette‚ ruler‚ goggles‚ and a timer. Method: Benedict’s test for reducing sugar: 1. Ruler was used to mark 1 cm and 2 cm marks on each tubes. 2. Negative control tube was filled with 1cm of water. Positive

Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is

ABSTRACT Enzymes are highly specific and can distinguish isomers of the same molecule. The enzyme invertase specifically catalyzes the reaction of the conversion of sucrose to its individual carbohydrates glucose and fructose. It does not catalyse the reaction of maltose to 2 glucose or lactose to galactose. In this experiment‚ titrimetric and spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the specificity of invertase by determining the amount of glucose converted from the given disaccharides

and you add Bieuret reagent into each‚ then the gelatin will change color. Hypothesis F1: If you add Benedict’s solution to the urine sample and boil it‚ then it will change color‚ indicating that glucose is present. Hypothesis F2: If you add iodine to the urine sample‚ then it will turn color‚ stating that there is a starch present. Hypothesis F3: If you add Biuret’s solution to the patient’s urine sample‚ then it will change color‚ meaning a protein‚ or child‚ is present. Hypothesis F4: If
