| - to remove dirt by rubbing hard with the use of a brush with or without soap and water | Scrubbing |
| application of a protective coating to an area which may be later polished by friction | Waxing |
| removing dirt by the use of soap and water | Washing |
| removed dirt which may be washed | Dusting |
| CLASSIFICATION OF DUSTING According to materials used: | Dry dusting Damp dusting |
| use of dry cloth to remove dust, as in varnished furniture | Dry dusting |
| use of damp cloth to remove dust on furniture not destroyed by moisture | Damp dusting |
| CLASSIFICATION OF DUSTING According to Height: | Low dusting High dusting |
| all places easily reached by standing on the floor and is done daily | Low dusting |
| all places easily reached by standing on a chair and is done periodically | High dusting |
| Inspect whether it needs mending, sorted accordingly, and folded uniformly | Care of Linen |
| including living room, bedroom, and bathe | Suite Room |
| with furnishings, equipment and supplies used for comfort and care of just one patient | Single room |
| where several patients are Placed in a room. | Ward |
| Refers to all activities pertaining to the control of solid wastes; and it includes all materials from humans, animals, and economic activities that are normally solid and are useless or unwanted waste | SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT |
| ASEPSIS | “A” = absence “Sepsis” = state of infection |
| absence of microorganism or disease producing pathogen, any activity that prevent infection or break the chain of infection. | ASEPSIS |
| Infection control practice used to prevent transmission of pathogens | ASEPSIS |
| Includes all practices intended to confine a specific microorganism to a specific area | Medical asepsis |
| Practices that destroy all microorganisms and spores | Surgical asepsis or Sterile technique |
| Limits the number, growth, and transmission of microorganisms | Medical asepsis |
| Practices that keep an area or object free of all microorganisms | Surgical asepsis or Sterile technique |
| Used for all procedures involving sterile areas of the body | Surgical asepsis or Sterile technique |
| Objects referred to as clean or dirty (soiled, contaminated) | Medical asepsis |
| Medical asepsis Clean: | absence of almost all microorganisms |
| Medical asepsis Dirty: | soiled, contaminated. Likely to have microorganisms that may be capable of causing infection |
| – any microscopic entities naturally present in the environment both pathogenic and nonpathogenic | Microorganism |
| 2 Types of Microorganism: | Pathogenic Nonpathogenic |
| – microorganisms capable of producing disease (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) | Pathogenic |
| – microorganisms that are not capable to cause a disease (N microflora – lactobacilli) | Nonpathogenic |
| - Any successful invasion of microorganism in the body causing disease | INFECTION |
| 2 types or stages of infection | asymptomatic or subclinical stage disease |
| - infections that are associated with the delivery of health care services, it can either develop during a client’s stay in a facility or manifest after discharge. | NOSOCOMIAL infection - |
| Common sites of Nosocomial Infections: | urinary tract respiratory tract bloodstream wounds |
| 6 chain of infection | Agent, Reservoir, Portal of Exit, Mode of Transmission, Portal of Entry, Susceptible host |
| The responsible microorganism that infects a host | paTHOGEN |
| infects healthy individual and susceptible individual | True pathogen |
| ONLY in susceptible individual | Opportunistic pathogen |
| Ability to produce disease | PATHOGENICITY |
| Source for pathogen growth, Humans (most common to be infected), and Animals | RESERVOIR |
| – show no signs and symptoms of illness but have the pathogen in their body that can be transferred to others | carrier |
| - Exit from reservoir to enter to a host after multiplying | PORTAL OF EXIT |
| 3 types of mode of transmission | Direct, Indirect, Air borne transmission |
| contact between Reservoir and host | Direct transmission |
| – intermediate means to infect host | Indirect transmission |
| – improperly handled food, contaminated needles | vehicle borne |
| flies, louse, cockroaches | vector borne |
| droplet nuclei that floats in the air and then inhaled | Air borne transmission |
| Organisms enter the body thru the same routes they use for exiting the reservoir | PORTAL OF ENTRY |
| individual’s degree of resistance to a pathogen | SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE HOST |
| clean technique | MEDICAL ASEPSIS |
| – reduces or inhibits the growth of microorganisms thru the removal of all foreign materials such as soil and organic materials from objects with the use of soap and water. | . CLEANING |
| - Most effective way to help prevent the spread of microorganisms. | HANDWASHING |
| Effective handwashing requires at least | 10 to 30 seconds |
| a process that eliminates all or many microorganisms except bacterial spores (single celled microbes in resting/inactive phase) | DISINFECTION |
| 4 types of disinfection | Concurrent, Terminal, Disinfectant, Antiseptic |
| ongoing | Concurrent |
| practices to remove pathogens from the client’s belongings and his immediate surroundings | Terminal |
| chemical preparation, either phenol or iodine compounds, used on inanimate objects. | Disinfectant |
| a cleansing solution that can be used on the skin. | Antiseptic |
| – is a process by which an article, surface or medium is made free of all microorganisms either in vegetative or spore form. | STERILIZATION |
| STERILIZATION FOUR COMMONLY USED METHODS | 1. Moist heat 2. Gas 3. Boiling water 4. Radiation |
