Respiratory Case Study The following case study is of a 37-year old Hispanic male weighing 145 lbs and 70 inches tall found unconscious by his girlfriend. According to her he was unconscious for about 15 hours and she was concerned because he would not wake or respond and was breathing shallow and slow. She then called 9-1-1. The patient entered the ER by emergency vehicle and on my initial assessment Pt had an altered mental status‚ was very unresponsive showing symptoms of a possible drug overdose

These organisms are resistant to high temperatures (as high as 50°C)‚ high salt concentrations and drying (Tolan‚ 2011). It is a common microorganism and can usually be found in the human axilla‚ inguinal area or nose. There are a lot of antibiotics that are used to treat staphylococcal infections. They have been found to be most responsive to a group of antibiotics called beta-lactams that include oxacillin‚

The researcher had an epidemic of ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella. The book goes on to describe the researcher’s worry about the resistance‚ so he resorted to imipenem which usually worked when drugs were resistant. Initially the imipenem knocked out the ceftazidime resistance; however after one day he discovered that Klebsiella had become resistant to imipenem. As a result a number of infected patient’s began to die due to resistance to the available

theories of evolution the correct of the two is Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection. Evolution can be proven through embryos‚ fossils‚ anti-biotic resistant bacteria and much more. Darwin’s theory also applies to St. Aureus as an overuse of antibiotics accelerated the evolution leading to the development of MRSA. MRSA is a type of bacteria resistant to antibiotics containing penicillin. MRSA is also known to be a super bug where it thrives in

result‚ viruses are evolving and becoming resistant to antibiotics. Resistance to antibiotics‚ and most likely to pesticides as well‚ is mainly a consequence of the abuse of these powerful weapons. “Antibiotics are overused by doctors‚ both in outpatient and inpatient settings‚ and self-medication is common‚ especially in developing countries.” (Vento‚ 2010) Studies have shown that bacteria and viruses are becoming more and more drug and antibiotic resistant. The widespread use of antibiotics has
