2. A fecal sample is being observed under magnification for the presence of Giardia. If present, what form would you expect to see?
3. Samples are collected from a stream that is suspected to harbor Giardia. Which form of the pathogen would you expect to find in the water samples?

Read the article from the journal, Clinical Infectious Diseases, and then respond to the following questions:

1. Based on Figure 1, what year had the most cases of giardiasis? Which year had the fewest? What is the general trend in cases during the times reported in the article?
2. Based on the maps in Figure 2, which region of the country typically has more cases of giardiasis? Make a prediction as to why this region has the most cases of giardiasis. [MO 1.1, MO 1.3]

Anastasias first prenatal visit illustrates the challenges refugees face when navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive, traumainformed nursing care. Background: Anastasia is a 22-year-old pregnant Ukrainian refugee who has recently resettled in the Orlando area. She speaks limited English and is accompanied by her 10-year-old brother, who tries to translate. She is quiet and hesitant to answer questions about her medical history, and she seems confused by the paperwork. Questions for Analysis: What cultural and communication barriers are present? What are the ethical and legal concerns of using a child interpreter? How can the nurse respond to Anastasias needs using trauma-informed, culturally respectful care? What referrals or support services might help her? Any other issues to be concerned about? Please complete and submit your case study in a Word document, minimum of two (2) pages excluding a title and reference page (so you will have a minimum of four (4) pages in total), properly formatted according to the APA Student Paper guidelines. Additionally, please review the grading rubric to ensure that all aspects of the study have been met.
