OET READING DAILY
Passage:
E. coli, a bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals, can cause a variety of illnesses. While most strains are harmless, certain pathogenic strains can produce toxins that lead to severe foodborne illness. Outbreaks linked to contaminated food, such as undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated fresh produce, have highlighted the importance of food safety practices. Research into E. coli has focused on developing rapid and accurate diagnostic methods, understanding the mechanisms of pathogenesis, and exploring effective prevention and treatment strategies.

ANSWER
LISTENING
Answer: A. The patient’s rapidly declining physical condition.
Rationale: While Dr. Mayfield expresses concern about the patient’s metabolic imbalance and the family’s emotional state, the primary focus of the conversation is the patient’s deteriorating physical condition. The doctor’s urgency and specific medical orders indicate a critical situation that requires immediate attention. Therefore, the patient’s rapidly declining physical health is the primary concern.

Rationale: The passage emphasizes the role of contaminated food in E. coli outbreaks, indicating a significant public health concern. The text highlights the impact of these outbreaks on human health and the importance of food safety practices. While other options might be relevant to E. coli research, the passage explicitly focuses on the public health implications of foodborne outbreaks.

SPEAKING
I understand you’re eager to know about your surgical options, Mihiraa. However, as a nurse, I’m unable to provide specific details about surgical procedures. Your doctor is the best person to discuss the next steps in your care. They can provide you with comprehensive information and address any concerns you may have.
