| What is an infectious agent? | Pathogenic microbe responsible for causing infection.
🗑
|
||||
| Examples of infectious agents. | Bacteria, fungi, virus
🗑
|
||||
| What is a reservoir? | Place where a microbe can survive, grow, or multiply.
🗑
|
||||
| Examples of reservoirs. | Humans, animals, food, water, soil, and contaminated articles and equipment.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an exit pathway? | Way for an infectious agent to leave a host.
🗑
|
||||
| Examples of exit pathways. | Blood. exudates, excretions, secretions.
🗑
|
||||
| What is Means of Transmission? | Method an infectious agent uses to travel from a reservoir to a susceptible host.
🗑
|
||||
| Examples of means of transmission. | Airborne, contact, droplet, vector, and vehicle.
🗑
|
||||
| What is airborne transmission? | Transfer of infectious agents through inhalation.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the size of airborne particles? | Less than 5um in diameter.
🗑
|
||||
| How are airborne particles dispersed? | Sneezing, coughing, talking, and activities that produce aerosols.
🗑
|
||||
| What is droplet transmission? | Transfer of infectious agent in mucous membranes of mouth, nose, or conjunctiva.
🗑
|
||||
| In droplet transmission, how large are the droplets? | Larger than 5 um in diameter.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the difference between airborne and droplet transmission? | Droplet transmission droplets normally travel less than 10 ft and do not remain suspended in the air (too large). Airborne transmission involves microbes that float through the air (smaller particles)
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| What are some examples of vehicle transmission? | Salmonella from contaminated chicken, shigella from contaminated drinking water.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an entry pathway? | Way for an infectious agent to enter a susceptible host.
🗑
|
||||
| List examples of entry pathways. | Body openings: Mucous membranes of eyes, nose and mouth, and breaks in the skin.
🗑
|
||||
| What is a susceptible host? | Someone with a decreased ability to resist infection.
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| What are engineering controls? | Devices that isolate or remove a BBP hazard.
🗑
|
||||
| What are work practice controls? | Practices that change the way tasks are performed to reduce likelihood of BBP exposure.
🗑
|
||||
| Does capillary blood and venous blood have the same composition? | No
🗑
|
||||
| What is the difference between capillary blood and venous blood? | Blood obtained from a capillary contain a mixture of arterial, venous, and capillary blood.
🗑
|
||||
