Many jobs can be dangerous, and accidents can result in serious
injury, infec- tion, and sepsis. Consider this case correct answer:
Clement is a welder and metal fabricator, and about a week ago, a
large, hot metal chip landed in his lap. It burned through his pants
and embedded itself in his thigh. Although he was able to remove
the metal from his leg, his boss took him to the emergency room for
treatment of the burn injury to his upper thigh. A couple days later,
however, Clement didn't feel well when he woke up; he had a fever
and was sweating. The injury from the burn seemed to be infected,
as it was swollen, painful, and hot to the touch. Because Clement
felt light-headed and experienced SOB and a faster-than-normal
heart rate, his wife took him back to the ER, where the doctor
determined that Clement's burn had indeed become infected,
resulting in sepsis. The doctor applied additional treatment to the
burn while also correct answer: A Case Study of Sepsis.
-- It indicates that the entire passage will describe a case of sepsis, including its cause, symptoms, and
treatment.
