Why is the development of infusion pumps important?

An infusion pump is a device, which is used to deliver fluids such as medications and nutrients into a patient’s body in controlled amounts. By using the infusion pump, you will be able to deliver large or small amounts of fluids going into the patient’s body. Medications can also be transferred into the patient via the infusion pump (medications such as insulin, antibiotics, painkillers etc.)  

This is a very important development because patients that cannot take medications and nutrients via mouth are treated using the infusion pump.

answer

ben’s food poisoning was caused by cross-contamination

explanation

cross-contamination in food occurs when harmful bacteria is transferred to food from other foods, utensils or cutting boards. it happens often when handling raw meat , sea foods and poultry. in this case, because ben did not wash hands before and after handing the poultry, chances that bacteria transfer   from the poultry to the vegetable are high.
