You're looking at a sample from your patient under the microscope. Does your patient have a virus?
a
Yes, my patient has a virus, since this is not a cell.
b
No, my patient does not have a virus, this is a bacterial cell.
c
Yes, my patient has a virus, as this a typical viral structure.
d
No, my patient does not have a virus, this is a fungal cell.
c
Yes, my patient has a virus, as this a typical viral structure.
To determine if a patient has a virus based on a sample observed under a microscope, you need to assess the characteristics of the sample. Here are possible steps to follow to make a determination:
1. Observe the sample under the microscope carefully.
2. Look for any specific structures or features that indicate the presence of a virus.
3. Compare the observed structures or features with known viral structures.
4. If the observed structures or features match those of typical viruses, then you can conclude that the patient has a virus.
5. If the observed structures or features do not match those of viruses and resemble bacterial cells, fungal cells, or other non-viral entities, you can conclude that the patient does not have a virus.
Based on the given answer options, the correct choice would be:
c. Yes, my patient has a virus if the observed sample reflects typical viral structures.
