|---|---|
| A human or animal that is a reservoir for microbes but does not have the signs or sx of infection | carrier |
| disease caused by pathogens that spread easily | communicable disease |
| infection that develops in a person cared for in any setting where health care is given | nosocomial or HAI |
| disease state resulting from the invasion and growth of microbes in the body | infection |
| microbes that live and grow in a certain area | normal flora |
| a microbe that is harmful and can cause an infection | pathogen |
| a bacterium protected by a hard shell | spore |
| the environment where a microbe lives and grows; such as the host | reservoir |
| abbreviation for a multidrug-resistant organisms | MDRO's |
| an infection in a body part (such as the finger or arm) | local infection |
| an infection that involves the whole body (such as sepsis) | systemic infection |
| Sx such as fever, pain, tenderness, redness, discharge, pus, and confusion | symptoms of infection |
| this population is at risk of infection because of lowered immunity | Geriatric population |
| What does this represent: source, reservoir, portal of exit, method of transmission, portal of entry, susceptible host | Chain of infection |
| When poor wiping from BM enters the urinary system the e-coli from stool can cause a | infection since it is not normal flora |
| In this practice the # of pathogens are removed or destroyed resulting in few pathogens being left on the item | medical asepsis |
| how long does hand washing last | 15 seconds |
| This is the process of destroying pathogens where spores are not destroyed | disinfection |
| These are disinfectants applied to the skin, tissues and non living objects. | germicides |
| standard precautions and transmission based precautions | CDC's two teirs of precautions to prevent the spread of infection |
| This organization develops disease prevention and control guidelines and standards to improve health | CDC |
| When do you remove and discard PPE | before leaving the room |
| These interventions are known as... cover the nose mouth when coughing use tissues to contain secretions dispose of tissues in waste can preform hand hygiene after contact with respiratory secretions | respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette |
| This transmission based precaution is used when some one is sneezing, coughing, or talking | Droplet precautions |
| This precaution is used when someone could be infected by a pathogen through person to person through airborne | Airborne precautions |
| Transmission based precaution where infection could be spread through direct or indirect contact | Contact precautions |
| PPE in this order: gown,mask,goggles,gloves | Donning of PPE |
| disposable items are used because.... | they prevent the spread of infection |
| What procedure is this: grasp just below the cuff,pull over your other hand so it is inside out | remove gloves |
| This PPE protects your clothing and is turned inside out when removed | Gown |
| Abbreviation for other potentially infectious material | OPIM |
| This regulation by OSHA protects employees from exposure to HIV and Hep B | Blood borne pathogen standard |
| This plan identifies staff at risk for exposure to blood or OPIM. This plan includes actions to take if an exposure occurs | Exposure control plan Exposure control plan |
| These controls reduce employee exposure in the workplace (ie, sharps containers) | Engineering and work practice controls |
| your hands are soiled with blood, what do you do? | wash your hands |
| What do pathogens need to grow | water, dark environment, nourishment, oxygen. |
| You dry from cleanest to dirtiest, therefore you would start drying your hands..... | fingertips to forearms |
| When you have a sterile field _______ inch around your sterile field is contaminated | one inch on all sides of your sterile field |
| You apply your gloves before or after your sterile field is set up | after your sterile field is set up |
| A mask is considered contaminated when wet True or false | True |
| What is OPIM | other potentially infectious material |
| A body fluid is considered to be potentially infectious because it may contain what? | Blood |
| When the person has protection against a certain disease, they are said to have | Immunity |
| What is it when you have contact with any OPIM or blood in your eye, mouth, other mucous membrane, non intact skin, or parenteral route | exposure incident |
| If there is an exposure incident the Hep B vaccine is | given to prevent Hep infection |
| When there is presence of OPIM or blood on a surface it is said to be | contaminated |
| These are all unmet when a person requires transmission based precautions | Self esteem needs |
| Linens soiled with urine would be placed where? | In a plastic bag |
| If the bag were soiled on the outside of the bag what would you do | double bag |
| A drug that kills microbes is called an | antibiotic |
| What does a carrier do | They can transmit the microbe to other people |
| If a microbe is known to not cause infection it is known as a | non-pathogen |
| If a person has protection against catching a disease, they are known to have | Immunity |
| What are droplets produced by | Coughing sneezing and talking |
| What comes off before removing your gown | Gloves then goggles |
| Medical asepsis will prevent: | the spread of microbes from from person to person or place to place or from a place to another person |
| Which isolation precaution would always require the use of gloves | contact precautions |
| An infection starts with | A source or a pathogen |
| Portals of exit are: | The same as portals of entry |
| If a nurse hands you a syringe with a needle attached what should you do | Place it in a sharps container |
| The process of becoming unclean is known as | contamination |
| When you are cleaning a surface, always clean : | away from your body |
