If you do, then you are putting too much effort into it. No citations are needed. All three need to be answered for full credit. 1. What aspect(s) of this laboratory course can/will you take over into your nursing career ? Ideas can be broad such as aseptic technique, and antibiotic sensitivity or narrower for techniques such as swabbing for sample collection. 2. Identify a microbe that you may encounter in your career (or one you just think is interesting), and various characteristics about it. These may include if it will stain pink or purple in a Gram stain, which types of agar it may grow on (TSA, BEA, EMB, MSA), and if those agar will change color, antibiotic sensitivity (if any at all), and any other interesting facts about it. You can use organisms that are in your lab exercises or others we have not mentioned. Good resources: microbiologyinfo.com, asm.org, testing.com 3. Write an overview about a lab unit of your choice, compete with key takeaways . Include facts about the lab unit, and the reason it was done.

OPTION TWO Interview With a Nurse Your Name: Your section and group: Name of Nurse Interviewed: Current Specialty: Each set of questions must be answered with approximately 50 to 100 words you may need more than one page. 1.) “Where have you worked as a nurse? What was the main way aseptic technique was used in each of those environments? (For the student highlight specific differences across work environments for example special precautions taken in labor delivery versus the Emergency room etc. or how instruments are sterilized differently. You may make reference to each of these environments throughout this assignment) 2.) “Have you had any experience with infections, specifically with antibiotic resistant pathogens or hospital acquired infections in your work? What are some ways of preventing hospital acquired infections? What happens if one type of antibiotic does not work?” 3.) Student question: List different types of patients that are considered immune compromised and discuss what kind of pathogens infect the immune compromised. 4.) Interview question: “Do you have any experience with patients with compromised immune systems? Tell me about any specific precautions or procedures you needed to take with those patients.” For the student: alternatively, if this nurse does not have experience. Then do some research on chemotherapy patients and additional precautions that need to be taken around them. Such as *special hand washing/sanitizing procedures and any special rules for what is allowed in these patient’s rooms. 5.)
