Q

Cause of infection

A

Bacteria cause infections by invading the body through a break in the skin or natural openings. Infection occurs when not enough antibodies are produced to fight harmful bacteria

31
EPA
Environmental Protection Agency Approves efficacy of products used for infection control EPA registered number ensures product is safe and effective
32
Blood spill procedure
Stop service and wash hands Put on gloves Cover injury Don’t let anything touch the skin or wound Disinfect station with broad spectrum disinfectant Double bag all contaminated articles and discard
33

39
Sterilization items
Tools used to puncture or invade skin
40
Bleeding and wounds
``` Cover and apply pressure for 5 minutes Elevate above heart Bandage after bleeding stops Wear gloves Call 911 ```
41
Chemical burns
``` Remove product with damp cotton Move clothing away from burn Apply cool compress Cover with clean dry cloth Call 911 if needed ```
42
Heat burns
Apply cool compress if skin is unbroken Bandage with clean dry cloth Don’t break blisters and no ointments or creams
43
Electrical burns
Don’t clean wound, and cover loosely | Call 911
44
Choking
Determine if they can speak or cough Let them cough it out if able Perform Heimlich and call 911
45
Fainting
Lay on back to allow fresh air Apply cool compress to face Roll onto side if they vomit If they don’t regain consciousness immediately, call 911 and go with them

Protective layer, no blood vessels, composed of keratinocytes and epithelial cells
58
Stratum corneum
Top and toughest layer Spiny layer Protects all lower layers
59
Stratum lucidum
