When should gloves be used to prevent infection

Use of gloves in situations involving possible contact with blood or body fluids, mucous membranes, non-intact skin (e.g., exposed skin that is chapped, abraded, or with dermatitis) or other potential infectious materials

list 4 precautions while wearing PPE'S  

  • Keeping hands away from face.
  • Limiting surfaces touched.
  • Removing PPE when leaving work areas.
  • Performing hand hygiene.

  1. Hand hygiene.
  2. Use of personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves, masks, eyewear).
  3. Respiratory hygiene / cough etiquette.
  4. Sharps safety (engineering and work practice controls).
  5. Safe injection practices (i.e., aseptic technique for parenteral medications).

These include gloves, face masks, protective eye wear, face shields, and protective clothing (e.g., reusable or disposable gown, jacket, laboratory coat

300

 What are these called:

sharps containers and needle recapping devices.

Engineering controls

This term means - a process of removing or killing most, but not all viable organisms. The aim of disinfection is to reduce the number of micro-organisms to a level at which they are not harmful. Spores are not destroyed

Disinfection 

400

Name 4 activities in which you are expected to wash your hands after performing in  the clinical areas.

  1. Perform hand hygiene—

a. When hands are visibly soiled.

b. After barehanded touching of instruments, equipment, materials, and other objects likely to be contaminated by blood, saliva, or respiratory secretions.

c. Before and after treating each patient.

d. Before putting on gloves and again immediately after removing gloves.

What is PPE?

Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to wearable equipment that is designed to protect one  from exposure to or contact with infectious agents

FALSE:

Do not recap used needles by using both hands or any other technique that involves directing the point of a needle toward any part of the body

This process means - a process of removing or killing all viable organisms including spores. Dead microorganisms and toxins (pyrogens) may remain. Prions will not be effectively destroyed by this process

Sterilization
