pick a bacterium from the book or that you found in another source. DO NOT TELL US ITS GENUS AND SPECIES NAME. Write a few sentences (around 5) about why it is interesting and/or important for nurses to know about.

pick a bacterium from the book or that you found in another source. DO NOT TELL US ITS GENUS AND SPECIES NAME. Write a few sentences (around 5) about why it is interesting and/or important for nurses to know about. Make sure to answer the following questions:

Gram reaction, morphology, and arrangement
type of disease it causes
how it is transmitted and how is it treated
is there anything that makes it expecially pathogenic (virulence factors) or dangerous to certain people
what a nurse can do to prevent their patients from contracting it

This does not need to be a huge amount of information. Bullet points are fine. Just make sure everyone knows the important distinguishing features.

The CDC and the NIH are good resources if you need ideas. REMEMBER TO LIST YOUR SOURCES OF INFORMATION (THAT INCLUDES THE TEXTBOOK AND ANY WEBSITES YOU USE)
