Mаke sure yоu аnswer bоth pаrts оf the question to earn full credit. It is up to you to decide how long or short each response should be based on the details you feel answer each question. Worth 1 point each. A senior citizen is rushed to the ER with suspected respiratory failure. Prior to being admitted to the hospital, the patient had been living in an assisted nursing facility and needed tube feeding. Their caregiver noted that they had been experiencing increased confusion, fatigue, and chest pain prior to the respiratory failure incident. The patient is immediately prepped for a chest X-ray. 1) The ER team suspects that this patient likely has: Covid-19, Flu, Pneumonia, OR Pertussis. Explain your reasoning. 2) This infection appears to be healthcare associated. How can we decrease healthcare associated infections of this type?
