Requirements Case study · Students must respond to each of the questions using academic writing. It is anticipated that the work will be presented in a question / answer format using full sentences and paragraphs. · – Students MUST use the electronic template for this assignment. · – Answers are to be written in the third person (he/she/it or they/them/their). · – Answers are to be written clearly and concisely using correct spelling and grammar and written in complete sentences and paragraphs. Bullet points are NOT acceptable. · – All answers must include in-text references and a reference list must be included at the end of the assessment. – As a guide, please aim to write around 35 words per allocated mark for each question. Thus, if a question is worth 10 marks, aim to answer it in around 350 words. Word count There is a word limit of 470 words. Use your computer to total the number of words used in your assignment. However, do not include the reference list at the end of your assignment in the word count. In-text citations will be included in the additional 10% word count. if you exceed the word limit by more than 10% the marker will stop marking at 470 words plus 10%. This template must be used to answer the case study. (Please type your answers within the box underneath each question) Student name (LAST NAME first name): Student number: Campus: Tutorial session (time and room no.): Tutor’s name: 1. Physiological basis of the wound observations (Total: 10 marks) 2. Possible sources of contamination and modes of transmission (Total: 5 marks) Name one endogenous source of contamination and discuss the mode of transmission from the source to the new host. (5 marks) Case Study Mary, 21 years old, presented to the hospital emergency department with an infected laceration on her left foot. Mary was at a beach resort four days ago, when she trod on a broken glass bottle and sustained a deep 2 cm long jagged laceration over the lateral aspect of her left foot. She used her handkerchief to bandage the wound. This morning the wound was extremely painful, swollen and had a purulent discharge. On inspection of the wound the following wound observations were made: · Painful and swollen, · – Red and warm when touched, · – Purulent discharge. Using the template provided, answer the following questions: 1. Describe the physiological basis for the appearance of Mary’s wound.(10 Marks) 320 words · Describe the scientific reason behind the wound to be painful and swollen · Describe the scientific reason behind the wound to be red and warm when touched · Describe the scientific reason behind the wound to have purulent discharge. 2. Explain one endogenous likely sources for the contamination of the wound and the mode of transmission of the microorganism from the source.(5 Marks) 150 Criteria: Accurately and thoroughly describes all physiological bases of Mary’s wound observations. Insightfully justifies each observation with relevant physiology. Clearly links the explanation and justification to information in the case study. Resources: i.
