Chapter 2, Problem 2UTM
A craniotomy for biopsy was scheduled and the neurosurgeon advised the staff that the patient was being assessed for symptoms of ataxia and relatively sudden onset of dementia. Tumors and any other intracranial lesions had been ruled out by radiographic studies. The patient had lived in England approximately 10 years ago.
Why would this particular disease and surgical procedure be of special concern for the handling, decontaminating, or reprocessing of the instrumentation?

A 30-year-old male patient has arrived in the radiology department for an x-ray of his right fibula. The patient has recently fallen off a roof and his leg is still swollen. The technician is using a digital radiology system to radiograph the patient’s leg. As the films are processed the technician notices a scratch mark on all the films. The technician has been using the same cassette, so she changes cassettes and the scratch marks no longer appear on the film. What caused the films to come out scratched?

- A stool specimen from a 20-year-old man was sent to the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory for examination. An FEA (formalin-ethyl acetate) concentration was performed and wet mounts prepared for examination. The objects seen in the images were present in moderate numbers and ranged in size from 33 to 40 micrometers (Figures A and B). The specimen also contained several large objects that were forwarded to CDC for identification. The objects averaged 1 centimeter in length. The images show one of the submitted objects after clearing with lactophenol solution, before (Figure C) and after injecting with ink. What is your diagnosis? Based on what criteria?

- Jane has been working in a Medical Device Reprocessing Department for 6 months. She is assigned to work in the Storage and Distribution area of the department for the day. Jane feels very confident about her ability to work in this area. Half way through her shift Jane notices a senior technician has dropped a sterile steri-peeled item on the floor, picked it up and then returned it to the shelf. The senior technician did not know that Jane saw this happen. Things to Consider: · If Jane does nothing, do you feel that she is being a conscientious technician? · If Jane takes the contaminated item from the shelf to the decontamination area herself without saying anything, is there a chance that the senior technician will continue this action? · If Jane talks with other technicians, is it considered gossiping? · If Jane talks to the senior technician, do you feel that she will come across as a “know it all”? · If Jane informs the supervisor, will she come across as being the department…arrow_forwardExplain the following areas about (X-ray machine) 1.

The laboratory is equipped to perform flow cytometry. Which of the following descriptions best describes this testing technique? A. Light is passed through a solution and scattered at an angle. A detection device collects the scattered light. The angle of the scatter corresponds to the concentration of the solution. B. Light is passed through a solution and scattered in a linear fashion. A detection device collects the scattered light. The amount of light scatter is proportional to the size, shape, and concentration of molecules present in solution. C.…arrow_forward
