A patient has arrived in the ER critically ill. She had a minor surgery the week previously and was discharged home with antibiotics. Upon arrival to the ER, the patient presented gravely ill, the surgical wound red, swollen, puss filled and her temperature elevated. A post surgical infection is suspected.Now, please read student post below, then write a response to it:Hello Class,For this weeks’ forum, I am going to attempt to do role 2.My wife recently had undergone a minor ACL reconstructive surgical procedure about a week ago. Everything seemed to be going well until the 2nd-day post-surgery, when she began to complain that the incision was painful, warm to the touch and that she felt like she was getting a fever. Having limited medical experience, I decided to look at the wound, which appeared inflamed and pus-filled with purulent discharge. My concern is that she acquired this infection from the hospital as it has only been 48 hours, and we were cautious to keep the site covered and wash our hands before and after every dressing change. I read on healthline.com that health-care-associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections can occur up to 3 days after discharge (Rogers, 2017). If this is true, I would like to speak with the head of the Surgery Department and the Health Administrators regarding legal recourse.
