infection control, safety and quality control
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| name the 4 conditions required for bacterial growth | moisture, temperature, oxygen and light |
| moisture for bacteria to grow can be found in | skin, mucous membranes, wet dressings, wounds, dirty instruments and needles |
| optimum temp for bacteria to grow | 98.6F (37C) body temp |
| temp that can kill bacteria | 107F (42C) |
| aerobic bacteria | require oxygen to live |
| anaerobic bacteria | can survive without oxygen |
| what kind of light does bacteria require to grow | darkness favours the bacteria, they will die if exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light |
| name the natural barriers the body has to break the chain of infection | skin, mucous membranes, GI tract, lymphoid and blood systems |
| what is the largest natural barrier to infection & what/how does it work | intact skin, low pH factor inhibits bacterial action. |
| how do mucous membranes help repel bacteria | throat - coughing, mucous helps flush. nose - sneeze. GI - acid. |
| list some of the places mucous membranes are found | respiratory, digestive, reproductive, urinary tract |
| what constitutes a reservoir or "source" | individuals who are ill with a disease and human carriers of disease who are unaware they have the disease but can still spread it. |
| portal of exit, or means of escape from the reservoir | respiratory tract secretions, intestinal waste products, reproductive tract secretions, blood and blood products and across the placental barrier |
| means of transmission for the pathogen to pass directly from the reservoir to the new host | milk or water |
| portal of entry or means of entry | respiratory tract, skin an mucous membranes, reproductive and urinary tracts, blood, and across the placental barrier, for the pathogen to enter into the new host |
| susceptible host | elderly patient, immunocompromised, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, very young |
| single best step to prevent the spread of infection | hand washing |
| asepsis | medically it refers to the destruction of organisms after they leave the body. |
| asepsis techniques | hand washing, disposable equipment, wearing gloves |
| surgical asepsis techniques | surgical hand washing, sterile gloves and equipment |
| isolation procedures & some equipment | protect both the patient and the health care worker. PPE equipment such as eye shields, gowns, gloves, masks |
| strict isolation | when patients have a highly contagious disease such as bacterial pneumonia, smallpox, diphtheria or chicken pox. Private closed room. |
| enteric isolation | for patients who have intestinal infections such as salmonella, shigella and hep A & E. Must wear a gown and gloves, all waste material is disposed of in special containers in the room. |
| contact isolation | used for patients who have diseases such as influenza. Direct contact transmission. Masks, gowns and gloves. |
| respiratory isolation | used for patients who have diseases that can be spread by droplet infection such as haemophilus influenza, meningococcal meningitis, tuberculosis or measles. Private room with closed doors. Masks |
| wound or skin isolation | used for patients who have an open wound, sore or skin infection. Gown and gloves |
| reverse isolation or protective isolation | used to protect noninfectious patients who may be susceptible to disease or infection. Ex. immunodeficiency diseases, tissue transplants, burns or chemotherapy & newborn nurseries. Anything brought in must be sterile. Masks, gowns and gloves. |
| standard precautions apply to what bodily fluids | blood, non intact skin - tissue specimen, all body fluids except sweat. |
| standard precautions equipment | hand washing and the use of gloves, masks & gowns, eye protection |
