Define the three words in MRSA: methicillin, resistant, and Staphylococcus aureus.

In my research, I found that methicillin is an antibiotic. It was once used to treat infections. Resistant means that the antibiotic no longer affects the infection. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium normally found on human skin and mucous membranes. However, the bacterium can cause serious infections if it enters the body.

Signs of MRSA include skin that is swollen, red, and painful. Sometimes, a person has a pimple or small boil that contains pus (which is infectious).

The six links in the chain of transmission for MRSA are:

a. infectious agent: Staphylococcus aureus

b. reservoirs: human skin and inside the nose

c. portal of exit: skin, pus from an infected pimple or boil, and nasal mucous

d. mode of transmission: direct contact with skin or contaminated objects or healthcare workers.

e. portal of entry: usually a cut on the skin

f. susceptible host: almost anyone, but especially those with open wounds or a suppressed immune system

When I researched ways that links in the chain of transmission may be broken to stop the spread of the MRSA infection, I found you can eliminate bacteria with antibiotics. Also, healthcare professionals should wash their hands properly after treating each patient they touch. Healthcare professionals should disinfect potentially contaminated surfaces. Lastly, healthcare professionals should use gloves and a gown when examining potential infections. They should dispose of these items before examining the next patient.

Explanation: (Answers may vary.)

minerals contribute to our overall health because they your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. our bodies use minerals to us function throughout the day.tromhey us build strong bones, so we can do more things in life. with certain minerals, they can you maintain a normal heartbeat!

though, as as minerals are for us, they can also be very dangerous if one were to consume too many. if you were to take too much minerals, or even vitamins, you could experience nausea and diarrhea. all trace minerals can be very toxxic at high levels of consumption. taking too much of some minerals will result in hair loss! but this goes with almost everything in life, taking too much of something that is good, will eventually be bad for you.

my intake in minerals was normal. there really is no need to improve, i am healthy, and i am experiencing no nausea or diarrhea. i am as healthy as a bee. ☺ (sorry that i cannot you with the mineral intake)

what i have learned so far is that taking too much something can be very bad for you. taking too many minerals or vitamins, or anything healthy in general, can result in nausea and diarrhea, as well as hair loss. it would be a good idea to track what you put into your body, good or bad.

out of the choices i'd say d the ability to set goals, mainly because to desire to continue you need motivation but it isn't motivation in that part, but setting goals means you have an endgame and you want to reach it which sums up motivation.
