Question 1.Explain why a booster tetanus injection was given to Vivienne?

The booster tetanus injection was given to her because patient had a deep cut of around 4 cm long at her right calf at the time when patient was digging manure into her rose garden. The injection was given to her for the reason that patient had a wound with the tool patient was digging the garden with. There is more possibility for the infection to spread as the tool can have rust. On the other hand, as the wound or a cut leads to an opening onto the skin, the bacteria and viruses can be easily entered in to the body from the wound and can lead to many infections and diseases. This booster tetanus injection is imperative for the reason that the production of antibodies (lymphocyte, which is the type of white blood cells in the immune system of human beings) is not at a steady elevated pace of action. This is as after the intrusion of the vaccine at the time when the production of lymphocyte is higher, the activity of production of the WBCs starts to turn down. The reduction in the action of T-helper cells denotes that there should be a “BOOSTER” to lend a hand to WBCs to stay vigorous and active (Veronesi, 1981).

In order to prevent tetanus, Vivienne must take delivery of a booster. In accordance with Dr. Gary Sy (2007), the CDC proposes that grown persons be given a vaccine of booster after every ten years, and care of standard in various situates is to provide the booster to every patient with a stick in lesion who is in doubt of when he or she was most recently immunised, or if the patient has taken in less than 3 life span dosages of the vaccine.

In a research by Fatunde & Familusi (2001), they provided a conclusion that the up to date Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) suggested by the WHO for budding countries of which three dosages of DPT are provided for the duration of childhood with no condition for booster dosages, is not enough for prevention oftetanus throughout infancy. It is recommended that a division be attached to the EPI agenda, recommending two spare dosages of TT in between the ages from four to six years and 11 to 12 years (admission into primary school and secondary school, correspondingly) for every one of children. With the intention of ensuring fulfillment, these doses of booster Tetanus could be crafted as requirements for admission earlier than education.

Question 2. Describe the physiological basis of any 3 of her wound observations.

When patient returned to the medical centre again, patient had complaints of tenderness, ache and patient was also feeling febrile. Her wound was inspected thoroughly and it was observed that the edges of the wound were red, the neighboring tissues around the wound were hot and tender when ...
