Survey of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus

Report Format

 Naming bacteria – you should use the full name of the organism when you first mention it in the report, thereafter you may use the abbreviated form S. aureus Please ensure that the organism name is written in italics Ensure that the organism name is written correctly in standard scientific format -capital ‘S’ for the genus name and small letter ‘a’ for the species When referring to the selective agar use the full name when first mentioned thereafter you may refer to MSA.

Aim/Introduction

Aim What is the purpose of this exercise? Introduction Why is S. aureus an important pathogen? Give a brief summary of the pathogenicity mechanisms Significance of carriage of S. aureus in Hospital patients, pre operative patients Hospital staff Food handlers
Materials and Methods
S. aureus produces an opaque colony surrounded by a yellow zone on MSA. Why? Confirmation tests. Gram stain on suspect colonies. Colonies identified as gram positive cocci were tested- Catalase test Streaked to NA or HBA Slide coagulase test (see note in discussion section) S. aureus colonies were confirmed after discussion with your demonstrator

Results
Acceptance Criteria – this needs to be stated in results section. Colonies were deemed to be S.aureus if they were: Mannitol positive, typical colonial morphology on MSA Gram positive cocci with typical microscopic morphology Catalase positive Slide coagulase positive
Acceptance Criteria cont.– A student was deemed to be a carrier of S. aureus for the purpose of our study if one or more typical and confirmed colonies were present on their MSA plate

Data from 2011-2015 (RMIT Microbiology 1 students)  Note: we do not require comments on individual results – you should only use the collective data in this table.

The company mentioned herein is merely a hypothetical organization with characteristics developed to enable students to respond to the assignment. You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

After Good Grocers, Inc. expanded its organic produce section and adopted a “buy local” policy, sales increased. The Virginia-based chain expanded its retail locations from seven to twelve (7 to 12) over the last three (3) years.

As the Assistant Human Resources Manager, your job is to advise store managers about legal and personnel matters. The leadership at Good Grocers, Inc. considers you to be a legally astute manager, who consults with the corporation’s attorney, as necessary. The corporation’s leadership has tasked you with managing two (2) situations have come across your desk. Please respond with support that is backed by the law.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper which addresses the two (2) situations from two (2) store managers.

Situation 1

Last week, my produce manager reported the following incident:

As I came out from the bakery, I saw a woman lying on the floor of the produce department. Her husband started yelling at me, saying, “She slipped on a banana peel and fell. My wife is the anchorwoman for NEWSNOW, and we are going to sue you!”

She didn’t look hurt, but I called 911 and filed an incident report that contained the facts of the situation. When viewing the area, I did, in fact, see a banana peel on the floor, but it was still yellow and lying on top of a ribbed rubber mat. The woman in question was wearing five-inch high heels. But I wasn’t sure what to say, other than the woman would be hearing from us.

Explain whether this situation is best handled by litigation or by a particular form of alternative dispute resolution.
Based on how you would handle this situation, either through litigation or a particular form of alternative dispute resolution, outline the key next steps involved in seeking a resolution. Justify your response.

Situation 2

Last week, my bakery manager was short an employee over Mother’s Day weekend when the bakery is always busy. To make up for being shorthanded, the bakery manager called in Ms. Greene, an independent contractor. Generally, Ms. Greene comes in on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights between 6 to 9 p.m. just to decorate cakes; she has her own bakery business. We furnish all of her equipment, and we pay her by the cake.

Ms. Greene worked eight (8) hours on Saturday and another eight (8) hours on Sunday over Mother’s Day weekend. We paid her $15.00 per hour. On the following Monday when Ms. Greene came in, she told me that she wanted to receive the same benefits as the other Good Grocers part-time employees, such as paid time off and employee discounts. Ms. Greene asserted that she really is a part-time employee who deserves the usual employee benefits.

3. Determine whether Ms. Greene is an independent contractor or a part-time employee. Provide a rationale for your response.

4. Explain the reasoning supporting whether or not Ms. Greene should receive the same benefits as part-time employees.

Occupational therapists work with individual consumers to collaboratively identify the unique impacts of
mental ill health, set goals and plan interventions. In doing this they need to adhere to the principles of
mental health practice (recovery oriented, person centred, occupation focused and evidence based). A key
competency is developing an intervention plan that adheres to these principles.
This assessment task will support your development of this competency through you:
1. Applying the Integrating Theory, Evidence and Action (ITEA) method to a selected intervention and
evaluating the degree to which it meets these principles for Ben.
2. Developing an intervention plan for Ben that demonstrates your:
a. Understanding of the intervention and ability to utilise it to meet Ben’s identified need
b. Ability to adhere to the four principles of mental health practice in providing intervention
3. Completing a learning contract that will guide your learning in relation to the selected intervention.
Task
This case study report has two parts:
1. A 1000 word evidence statement following the ITEA Method (Hitch, Pepin & Stagnitti, 2014) that critiques
the available evidence for your selected intervention in terms of its consistency with the four guiding
principles (recovery-oriented, person-centred, occupation-focused, evidence-based) using the Model of
Human Occupation as the occupationally focused theory.
2. A 600 word intervention plan that demonstrates how you would apply your selected intervention with Ben.
This should be informed by your evidence statement above and demonstrate adherence to the four
guiding principles.
Your report should meet professional standards. That is, it should be well structured, clearly articulated in
professional language and free from spelling, grammatical, punctuation and referencing errors. An
occupational therapist should be able to read your report and implement the intervention plan as you
intended.
