Nosocomial Infections (NI) can arise from an inanimate object or substance‚ other patients‚ medical personnel‚ visitors‚ air‚ water‚ even the health care process itself. Also‚ the use of reusable equipment/supplies‚ invasive devices or techniques (catheters‚ valves‚ etc.). Patients in a hospital setting are also exposed to more drug resistant strains of microbes; as in this setting the microbes are selected at a higher rate than outside the hospital due to antibiotic usage in the hospital.

This organism has caused outbreaks of infection and health care associated infections. Some infections include bacteremia‚ pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ urinary tract infection and wound infection. Due to their resistance to antibiotics there is a limit in the therapeutic options for patients with these infections (Maragakis‚ Perl‚ 2014). Molecular based strain typing by PFGE and other methods

Managing Pediatric Illness and Injury Recognising fractures and dislocations A fracture is the cracking or breaking of a bone and dislocations are where a bone has been displaced from the point in where it should be. There are different types of fractures with the most common being hairline and compound. Hairline fractures are where there is a very fine line between the segments of the bone that appears when x- rayed. The bone segments will remain in alignment and the fracture may not go fully
