The immune system
Question 1 8 marks
George is a 70-year-old male who has injured himself with an old piece of wire whilst
gardening. He has a minor laceration to his left forearm which is no longer bleeding.
George is otherwise well. George states he does not think he has ever had a tetanus
vaccination in the past and has no vaccinations records. He does not identify as
Indigenous.
How will you manage this presentation? (Approximately 300-400 words)
a) Outline your immediate assessment and management of this wound.
b) Outline the vaccinations that George requires based on the Australian
Immunisation HandbookTable. Guide to tetanus prophylaxis in wound
management.
George requires diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccination and other
related combinations.
c) Discuss George’s vaccination requirements for tetanus in relation to primary and
secondary immune response.
d) Identify vaccines that George is eligible to receive as a 70-year-old, according to
the Immunisation Schedule Queensland.
e) Discuss public health considerations for George who has no vaccination history.
a. At the point when George presents with a laceration, the doctor acquired a
history, including tetanus immunization status, sensitivities, and time and system
of injury, and afterward evaluate wound size, shape, and area. The following
stage is to decide if vessels, ligaments, nerves, joints, muscles, or bones are
harmed. A tissue adhesive strip will be stuck on the injury of George with the
end goal that the healing system begins. When an injury has been sufficiently
fixed, appropriate consideration is to be given to the components of aftercare.
b. George requires diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccination and other
related combinations.
c. It could be observed that the primary response of the immune system of George
is quite strong because of the bleeding stoppage. However, it is unlikely that
when he is struck again, his secondary immune response will be triggred. It is
during this time that tetanus vaccine for him will be handy.
d. According to the Immunisation Schedule Queensland, George is eligible to be
administered with shingles vaccine.
e. Public health educates individuals about the vaccines they need and the
dangers and advantages of getting immunizations. Vaccination of the older is
one of the best methods for forestalling sickness, handicap, and death from
irresistible ailments. The old populace has been vaccinated or presented to
numerous illnesses before they reach to old age. And, after its all said and done,
they despite everything need vaccinations. Diseases including pneumococcal,
flu, tetanus, and herpes zoster are increasingly basic among the older populace.
These contaminations are significant reasons for mortality and morbidity among
