In your reading this week, you’re learning about the various methods to control microbial growth. In this assignment, we will evaluate the general considerations in microbial control and discuss examples of physical and chemical methods to control microbial growth. referencing : References : – VanMeter, K., & Hubert, R. (2021). Microbiology for healthcare professionals. Elsevier. Address the following criteria in your video, infographic, or presentation digital study tool: -What are some of the general factors that we must take into account in order to control microorganisms in healthcare settings? -Select ONE physical method to control microbial growth and provide a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of using this method in a healthcare setting. -Select ONE chemical method to control microbial growth and provide a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of using this method in a healthcare setting. -Add some visual illustrations to highlight each method. Be sure to add at least one reference (using APA) which exemplifies where you learned about the material. This could be your e-text or another source. If you submit a video response, be sure to add a text response with your reference. -All submissions should be in your own words. If you quote material, be sure to clearly identify these statements in quotations

Instructor will submit the paper to turnitin so ill need proof ai isnt used… Its for microbiology and each question has to be 200 words

Please complete the case study and return your solutions to this drop box as either a .doc or docx formatted file. These assignments should typically be completed in 1-2 pages. Please be sure to use your own words (do not plagiarizing) and remember cite your sources.

For Discussion 2, let’s look at the topic of antibiotic use in livestock. Currently, the FDA approves the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals (NOTE: this is now moving to more veterinary oversight vs being over-the-counter). There are two reasons for antibiotics to be used in livestock: 1. To treat disease in livestock and 2. To promote growth in livestock. NOTE: The dosage of antibiotics given to promote growth in animals is too low to treat disease. In this discussion, you will be assigned to support or refute the use of antibiotics for the purpose of livestock growth (check your iCollege email for your side of the debate by 2/9 at the latest). While your personal opinions may not align with the side of the debate that you are placed on, please take this as an opportunity to expand your knowledge on this topic.

A detailed description of what is required for your post is available in this section of the , but here is the general breakdown of what you need to do:

• One to two page post based upon your assigned side of this issue
• Paraphrase information that you present….keep quotes to a minimum
• Must include minimum of 2 reference

Discussion Topics: Three times this semester, a discussion topic will be posted that relates to the material that we are covering. This may be research related to one of the chapters we are covering, or you may be asked to read and respond to a news article that I post. You will be placed into a small group within the class to maximize meaningful interactions regarding the material. Each person will have to relate their own thoughts in an original post, as well as post at least three responses to other posts. Your responses must have substancestatements like I agree! and Im not sure I understand will not count as responses for grading purposes, but are certainly welcome in the proper context within a conversation.

Your original post to each topic is expected to be the length of one to two double-spaced pages (not including references) in a word-processing program, though it does not have to be double-spaced on the message board. I strongly recommend that you write and edit your answer in a word-processing program, then copy and paste it into the discussion board window once it is complete. iCollege has the unfortunate tendency to kick you out just when you go to post something and Im sure you would rather not lose all your work if it does that. Do not post answers as attachments.

You must use at least two references in each of your main discussion board posts. Answers MAY NOT be cut- and-pasted from other sources; you must write the answers in your own words and cite the sources that you used at the end of each portion (not simply at the end of the post). You may use quotes but they must be a minor (less than 15% total) part of your answer. Be sure that quotes are in quotation marks, but even paraphrased information must be cited in APA or MLA format. Failure to do so is considered plagiarism and will be dealt with according to those policies. NOTE: I will be screening your posts through Turn-it-in, which contains AI-detecting software. AI-generated discussions are considered plagiarism and will be reported.

You are required to respond to other peoples posts in addition to submitting your own. Each one that you read will increase your understanding of the topic; posting thoughtful responses will build your comprehension of the topic, as well as building our classs community. I encourage you to add your views to theirs. If you have questions about what theyve written, please ask them on the board! You must respond to a minimum of three other peoples posts for every discussion. You are also expected to respond to questions that other people ask about your post.

The first week, you will post your initial response to the topic. The second week, you will write your responses to other peoples posts. The board will close at the end of that week so that I can grade the contributions.

Posts will be graded on both content and grammar. Posting in all lowercase or capital letters, misspellings, improper grammar, etc. will cost you points regardless of the merit of your response. Double-check your messages before posting them!

Each discussion will be graded out of 100 points:

• (50 points) Quality of your original post: factually correct, on topic, shows insight, etc.
• (25 points) Formatting and references: grammar, spelling, punctuation, citations, etc.
• (25 points) Responses to other people: number, substance, understanding, etc.

**Failing to quote and/or cite your sources properly will cost you 25 points off your grade and may lead to a formal charge of plagiarism. **

Read Chapter 9 and the attached paper and write a one paragraph essay of 400-500 words explaining how and why healthcare epidemiology programs are essential to quality care. Please be aware that the essay will be checked for plagiarism and AI usage. Please use the provided link.

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AS PER MY PROFESSOR:

The case studies normally are to be answered in paragraph/essay form and should not include the questions nor the background information. I already know what the set up is and it only serves to drive up your similarity scores when turnitin.com parses it for similarity and AI usage. You should include references and submit as .docx files.

When you answer your case studies, be sure to properly name the Microorganism, not just give me the condition. Please don’t just say respiratory infection as my response will be –“What is your causative agent?”. You need to name the suspected MO and use proper binomial nomenclature to do so. This means the Genus should be capitalized as it is a noun. The species should be lower case because it is an adjective. And the entire name should be in italics. For example, Aureococcus anafagefferens would be appropriate. After you use the MO name for the first time, you may abbreviate the genus and simply write A. anafagefferens if you wish. Alternatively, underlining the name is also accepted practice such as A. anafagefferens This is something that is a convention within biology and microbiology. Think back to your Saturday Morning Cartoon days — Looney Tunes and the Roadrunner/Coyote skits always used spoofed scientific names “Speedius maximus” or “Hungrious ravenous” when showing the roadrunner or coyote respectively. Not scientific at all but formatted correctly!

As indicated, these should be competed in your words. I can’t tell you how many times I get papers that have similarities of 70% or better and I’m told that “I did the work myself”. The hallmarks of plagiarism include the words used and the order of the words used. Paraphrasing involves the reworking of both. It’s possible to submit work, even using common terms excluding references, with 6% or less similarity. I’d like us to shoot for 30% +/- outside of the references. I”ll check them all, but when I see the yellow, oranges, and reds of your similarity reports — which you will all have access to review — it does draw ire.

References in science should be APA formatted. There’s a Cornell University guide if you wish to reference it. However, the differences in the references pages are small, the in text citations involve the year rather than the page as is the convention in MLA. I’d prefer the convention be followed but as long as you are internally consistent, it matters to me much less which you use. Since these are intended to be submitted as .docx files, and everyone gets free MS365 with your RCC technology fees, word can actually manage your references for you. There is a reference tab at the top of the program which is quite robust and can help you manage your references and build a library (exportable too) as your college career continues. There is no need to buy a program like “Endnote” to manage references any more.

In a two-page paper,

• Explain how the infection is spread from person to person.
• What is the gold standard test to diagnose HIV?
• If HIV goes untreated, what other disease will it lead to?

so you will log onto mcgrawhill and just complete a assignment there.
