Foodborne diseases are caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Though early symptoms caused by these infections are similar, there cannot be called a single syndrome because of the variety of pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses. In this week's episode of the Nursing Show, the podmedic discusses the different types of foodborne illnesses including its etiologic agents, treatment, nursing care, prevention and patient education. The show also provides news for nurses and links to trusted resources for a more in-depth review.
