what is the difference between medical asepsis and surgical asepsis? Surgical-sterile technique that prevents contamination of an open wound, serves to isolate the operative area from the unsterile enviroment and maintains a sterile field medical asepsis used to reduce number or organisms present and prevent transfer
Discuss the principle sterile object remians sterile only when touched by another sterile object Sterile object remains sterile on when touched by another sterile object. sterile touching cleans is contaminated. sterile touching contaiment becomes contaminate. or the sterile state is questionable when broken or torn package
Discuss the principle only sterile objects may be placed on a sterile field all items are properly sterilized before use. sterile objects are kept in clean dry storage areas packages must be dry and intact
Discuss the principle a sterile object or field out of the range of vision or an object held below a persons waist is contaminated. Never turn ur back on asterile field or away from tray contamination can occur accidentally by dangling piece of clothing. ANY OBJECT HELD BELOW THE WAIST IS CONTAMINATED keep objects in front with hands as close as possible
discuss the principle a sterile object or field becomes contaminated by prolonged exposure to air. avoid activities that may breate air current. open package as close to sterile field. do not talk cough or sneeze over sterile field minimize number of people walking in sterile area
Discuss the principle when a sterile surface comes in contact with a wet, contaminated surface the sterile object or field becomes contaminate by capillary action is sterile package becomes wet dispose of. if moisture leaks through a sterile package it is contaminated any spill of sterile solution is a contamination
Discuss the principle fluid flows in the direction of gravity a sterile 0object becomes contaminated if gravity causes the contaminated liquid to flow over the objects surface. hold hands above elbows when surgical srub dry from fingers to elbows with hands held up
duscuss the principle the edge of a sterile field or container are considered to be contaminated a 2.5 cm 1 inch border around the drape is considered to be contaminated the edge of sterile containes become exposed to air after opened and thus are contaimanted after u remove forcieps or sterile needle it must not touch containers edge contaimanted
Describe the chain of infection an infectious agent of pathogen-aresovior or sourth of growth-a portal exit from resovior-a mode of transmission-a portal entry to a host-a susceptible host
Discuss the various factor that affect a person susceptibility to infection Age nutritional status prescence of chronis disease trauma and smoking.
Why is age a suspectability for infection infants have an immature defense against infection the young or middle aged have a refined defense against infection and and older adults loose skin tugor and loose function or urinary system and lungs
why is notritional status a suspectiablity to infection a reduction in the intake of nprotein and other nutrients such as carbs and fats reduce the bodys defenses against infection and impairs wound healing
why is stress a suspectiability to infection? continued stress leads to exhaustion in which the energy stores are depleted and the body has no resistance to inavding organsisms..elevated cortisol levels result in decrease resistance to infection
why is disease process a susptability to infection? clients with diases of the immune system are at a particular risk for infection. leukemia aids lynphoma and aplstic anemia and with chronic ndiseases such as diabetes or multiple scleriosis
why if medical therapy a suspetability to infection adrenal corticosteriod prescribed for several conditions are antiflammatory drugs that cause protein breakdown and imflammatory imapired response to pathogens some cause side effects of bone marrow depression
identify common sources of infections mosquitoes, unwashed hands, equipement used in the enviroment medical devices and performance of procedures, water, food,tick flea
methods of preventing infection in health and illness asepsis, hand hygeine, cleaning disinfection and strilization of contaiminated objects, cleaning take isoloations and iolation precautions
Compare signs and symptoms of localized and systemic infections. Localized the client usually experiences localized symptoms pain tenderness and reddness at wound site. Systemic an infection thqat affects the entire body fever aches chills nausea weakness
Sterlization 1-definition 2-methods 3-chemicals 4-other methods complete elimanation or destruction of all microorganism including spores. steam under pressure,thylene oxide gas, hydrogen perioxide plasma, and cheamicals
Disinfection 1-def 2-method 3-chemiocals 3-other methods elimanates many or all microorganisms with the exception of bacterial spores from inanimate objects types are disinfecton of surfaces and high level disinfection. accomplished by chemical or wet pasterazation alcohols,chlorines,hydrogen proxi
Antiseptics agents that inhibits the growth of microorganism on the external surface of the body mercuric chloride,silver nitrate iodine and alcohol
Disinfectants applied to non living objects to kill microrgansism alcohol, aldehyding, oxidizing agents, phenolics, quaternary amoniona compounds
Antimicrobials kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms include antibitoics and synthetically formed compunds expamples are antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, anatiparasitics
