Med/Surg Asepsis & Infection Control
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Joesph Lister | father of aspetic technique |
| Microorganism | tiny, microscopic entity capable of carrying on living processes |
| Infection Control | policies and procedures of a facility to minimize the risk of nosocmial or community acquires infections from spreading |
| Asepsis | free of pathogenic microoragnisms |
| Medical Asepsis | 'clean technique'inhibits growth and spread of pathogenic microorganisms |
| Surgical Asepsis | 'sterile technique' destroy all microorganisms |
| Spores | the reproductive cell of some microorganisms such as fungi and protoza |
| Infectious Cycle | Infectious Agent.>Reservoir>Exit Route> Method of Transmission>Entrance>Host |
| Inhibit | stop or slow process |
| Aerobic | grow in presence of O2 |
| Anaerobic | grows only when no O2 present |
| Infectious Agents = | Bacteria;Viruses;Fungi;Protzoa |
| Bacteria | round, oblong, spiral; all have different compostitions, require different nutrients,form different waste products;treat with anitbiotics |
| Virus | uses cells to replicate;no medicine cure; run course; |
| Fungi | most common; belong to plant kingdom;most show no signs or symptoms but can become serious/fatal |
| Protozoa | single-cell animal;parasitic |
| Disinfection | use of chemical to destroy microorganisms |
| Antiseptic | substance used to discourage growth of microoragnism |
| Reservoir | any natural habitat that promotes growth and reproduction |
| Carrier | vector; a person/animal that harbours and spreads organisms, causing disease but doenst become ill |
| Infection Control to reduce Reservoirs | bathing;dressing changes;contaiminated articles/needles;bedside unit;bottled solutions;surgical wounds;drainage bottles and bags |
| Exit Route | microorganisms cant spread unless they find a way out |
| Method Of Transmission | ways microorganisms travel |
| Vehicles | means by which organisms are carried about |
| Contamination | condtion of being soiled,stained,touched,or exposed to harmful agents |
| Fomite | nonliving vehicle |
| Vector | living vehicle |
| Entrance Route | same as exit; how organisms find way into body |
| Host | an organism in which another organism is mourished |
| Stages of Infectious Process | Incubation period;Prodromal stage;Illness stage;Convalescence |
| Incubation Period | interval between entrance of pathogen and appearance of symptoms |
| Prodromal Stage | interval between nonspecific sign and and specific symptoms |
| Ilness Stage | interval when patient manifests dignd and symptoms of specific infection |
| Convalescence | interval when symptoms of infection disappear |
| Isolation Precautions | precautions designed to reduce the link of transmission of blood-bourne pathogens and pathogens form moist body substances |
| Double Bagging | a infection control practice involving placing a bag of contamented bag into another bagg held outside isolation room |
| Standard Precautions | use of precautions of blood and body fluids;ie gloves, hand washing, eye wear |
| Nosocomial Infection | an infection that is acquired while in a facility 12 hours after admittance |
| PPE | Personal Protection Equipment |
| Isolation Techniques | Throuogh hand washings, Understanding of disease,disposal of comtanimated equip and articles, Transportation precaution... |
| CDC recommened isolation items | Place lines in bag inside room, bad should be labled,double-bagging |
| TB symptoms | wieght loss,fever, dyspnea, night sweats |
| Bacterio | microorganism |
| static | that which can not move or grow |
| Cleaning | removal of all foriegn materials such as soil and organic material |
| Disinfection | used to destroy microorganisms except spores |
| Chemical process for sterilization | Gas(ethylene oxide), Chemical solutions |
| Sterile technique principles | Serile object stays sterile when touched by another steril object>Sterile object only on steril field>Sterille object out of sigh or below waist is contaimenated>become containmenated in prolonged air>when in contact with a wet field>Fluid flows toward gr |
