Clients with dementia

You are employed at a long-term care facility. During your break your co-worker starts complaining about one of her clients who has dementia. Because of the dementia, it takes a very long time to provide the client with care. Your co-worker even mentions the client’s name during the conversation. How would you handle this breach of confidentiality.

Heat and moisture exchangers

A patient on mechanical ventilatory support with Heat and Moisture Exchangers (HME) is sectioned for large amounts of foul smelling green sputum. The patient has a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and a normal white blood count. What is the cause of this issue, what changes would you as the respiratory therapist recommend to for this treatment at this time?

Phylogenetic trees compare gene or genome sequences to understand a number of aspects of the evolutionary trajectories of viruses that infect humans

Phylogenetic trees compare gene or genome sequences to understand a number of aspects of the evolutionary trajectories of viruses that infect humans, including SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that invaded humans in late 2019 leading to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The phylogeny below shows evolutionary relationships between viruses which have all been assigned to the coronavirus family. Explain, using this phylogenetic tree, how virologists have concluded each of the following:

a. The current SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 in the human population most likely involved the transfer of a similar coronavirus infecting bats into humans.

b. Bat and human SARS-CoV viruses share a most recent common ancestor with MERS-CoV

c. The SARS-CoV virus causing the first epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome evolved the ability to infect human cells much earlier in time than the current SARS-CoV-2 virus.
