Concepts
this is a theoretical framework used by medical professionals to isolate and contain infections.
what is the chain of infection
This cleaning method takes at least 15 minuets to work, denatures most viruses, but can be impacted based on your altitude. Cheap and readily available.
What is boiling?
infection of long duration
chronic infection
touching or contact with a patient's blood or saliva
direct contact
guidelines based o treating ALL human blood and body fluids as infectious
universal precations
This is where you can find or locate the pathogen in the environment or organism.
A client came into your clinic and sneezed on your hand, absent a tissue reaction this is better known as.
Contamination
waste that poses danger to humans or the environment
hazardous waste
items such as gloves and patient napkins that may contain pathogens that are left behind then picked up.
What is indirect contact
a disease that is caused by microorganisms such as virus or bacteria that are carried in the blood
blood-borne pathogens
Through the air, through the water, from a flea, sometimes sometimes more than one, these pathways are better called this.
Modes of transmission.
Contact with this byproduct of tar creation should be avoided but is highly effective against bacteria and some viruses.
what are phenols?
This container is puncture resistant, and is where you place single use items after clinical use
What is a sharps container.
Biting into a plant that has Norovirus within its leaves and then getting sick is more like.
indirect infection
microorganism persistent for a long period of time that causes disease is this type of infection
chronic infection
a person who is unable to resist infection by a particular pathogen, a very likely person to become ill.
susceptible host
Used commonly in public pools, and for stubborn stains, this solution is highly corosive to metals, but is effective against all microbes except their spores at room tempature/
What is chlorine?
Viruses cannot be killed as they are not alive, in place we use this term instead.
What is denatured.
Occurs when a person has PREVIOUSLY contracted a disease AND recovered
Naturally acquired Immunity
allows the body to resist disease and prevents foreign bodies from causing infection
immunity
this is the name of the agent that is directly associated with a disease.
What is the causative agent.
What is infection?
Compound XZY is effective at preventing the TB bacterium from spreading, but cannot eliminate it, this compound would be considered this.
which agency regulates how to dispose of chemicals and disinfectants in a safe way for the environment.
Environmental Protection Agency
These cells are large, white and can both kill pathogens as well as communicate with dendritic cells about infections. Also known as Monocytes once they leave the blood.
what are macrophages
