infectious   type of infectious disease that may not pose a risk for infection. Pnemonia and viral meningitis are examples.  
🗑
dose   sufficient numbers of organisms  
🗑
virulence   ability to survive outside host or body  
🗑
host resistance   suceptability of host  
🗑
reservoir   where pathogen can survive but may or may not mulitply  
🗑
pathogen   infectious agent  
🗑
colonization   organism that multiplies but does not cause infection  
🗑
bactericidal   temperature or chemical that destroys bacteria  
🗑
bacteriostasis   prevention of growth/reproduction of bacteria by cold temperatures  
🗑
carrier   person who shows no symptoms of illness but have the pathogens that can be transferred to others  
🗑
contact   direct or indirect mode of transmission  
🗑
direct contact   person to person (oral or fecal);  
🗑
Physical contct between source and susceptible host (touching client feces, then your mouth)    
🗑
direct contact   Hepatitis A, Shigella, Staphlococcus mode of transmission  
🗑
indirect contact   personal contact of susceptible host with contaminated inanimate object (Sharps, dressings, environment)  
🗑
indirect contact   Mode of transmission for: Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatits C, HIV, Staphlococcus, RSV, MRSA, pseudomonas  
🗑
Droplet   Large particles (bigger than 5mcg), travel up to 3 feet (coughing, sneezing, talking). Mask required.  
🗑
Droplet   Mode of transmission: influenza, rubella, bacteria meningitis, pertussis, mumps, scarlet fever, plague, PNEMONIA, mycoplasmal pnemonia  
🗑
Airborne   Droplet nuclei smaller than 5 mcg or residue or evaporated droplets suspended in air or carried on dust particles (coughing, sneezing). Requires HEPA filter and private room.  
🗑
Airborne   Mode of transmission: mycobacterium tb, tuberculosis, varicella zoster (chicken pox), measles,  
🗑
standard precautions   Apply to all blood, bodily fluids (except sweat) intact skin and mucous membranes  
🗑
exogenous infection   Microorganisms that are external to the patient—do not exist as normal flora  
🗑
ID: postoperative infection    
🗑
endogenous infection   Patients own flora becomes altered and an overgrowth results.  
🗑
IE: Enterococci, yeast, streptococci, c diff from being on several antibiotics    
🗑
Iatrogenic infection   result from diagnostic or therapeautic procedure.  
🗑
IE: catheter insertion, GI endoscopy    
🗑
HAI   result from delivery of health care serices in health care facility. In acute care setting called Nosocomial.  
🗑
Urinary   most common type of HAI (32%)  
🗑
Surgical Site   second most common HAI (22%)  
🗑
Primary defenses   Skin, Ciliary action, Urinary flow, Peristalsis, pH  
🗑
Secondary defenses   WBC, Hgb, Inflammatory response  
🗑

🗑
direct contact   Mites from a scabies  
🗑
direct contact   Blood or other blood  
🗑
direct contact   Microorganisms transferred from one infected person to another person without a contaminated intermediate object or person  
🗑
indirect contact   Includes the transfer of an infectious agent through a contaminated intermediate object or person. Contaminated hands of healthcare personnel are important contributors to indirect contact transmission  
🗑
indirect contact   Hands may transmit pathogens after touching an infected or colonized body sire, or inanimate object if hand hygiene not performed  
🗑
indirect contact   transfer of infectious agent through Patient  
🗑
indirect contact   transfer of infectious agent by sharing toys  
🗑
indirect contact   transfer of infectious agent by instruments inadequately cleaned between patients

🗑
droplets   generated from the source person primarily during coughing, sneezing, talking and during the performance of certain procedures such as suctioning and bronchoscopy.  
🗑
NO   Do droplets remain suspended in the air, special air handling and ventilation?  
🗑
Airborned precautions   Private room required, negative air pressure airflow, special mask or respiratory device required.  
🗑
Airborne   Microorganisms can be dispersed widely by air currents and may become inhaled by a susceptible host within the same room  
🗑
Airborne   Examples include mycobacterium tuberculosis, rubeola and varicella viruses  
🗑
