Q

A lung infection that develops in a person on a
machine used to help the client breathe

A

VENTILATOR ASSOCIATED
PNEUMONIA (VAP)

21
Q

occurs through skin-to-skin
contact, kissing, and sexual intercourse. Also refers to
contact with soil or vegetation harboring infectious
organisms

A

DIRECT CONTACT

22
Q

spray with relatively large, shortrange aerosols produced by sneezing, coughing, or
even talking. Droplet spread is classified as direct
because transmission is by direct spray over a few
feet, before the droplets fall to the ground.

A

DROPLET SPREAD -

23
Q

indirectly transmit an infectious
agent include food, water, biologic
products (blood), and fomites (inanimate
objects such as handkerchiefs, bedding, or
surgical scalpels)

A

VEHICLE

24
Q

such as mosquitoes, fleas, and
ticks may carry an infectious agent
through purely mechanical means or may
support growth or changes in the agent

A

VECTOR

25
Q

protect
the individual against
all MOs

A

Non-specific

26
Q

directed
against identifiable
infectious agent

A

SPEIFIC

27
Q

local and nonspecific defensive
response of the tissues to an
injurious/ infectious agent

A

INFLAMMATORY RESONSE

28
Q

Injurious agents are classified as either: 3

A

Physical agents, 2) Chemical Agents
and 3) Microorganisms

29
Q

produced consisting of fluid that escaped from blood
vessels, dead phagocytes and dead tissue cells

A

Exudate

30
Q

substance that induces a state of
sensitivity or immune responsiveness

A

ANTIGEN

31
Q

originate from own body

A

Autoantigen

32
Q

Also called humoral immunity as it resides in the B lymphocytes
and mediated by antibodies produced by B cells

A

ANTIBODY MEDIATED

33
Q

also called immunoglobulins are part of the body’s
plasma proteins

A

ANTIBODIIES

34
Q

Occurs through T cell system
* 3 types:

A

Helper T cells, 2) cytotoxic T cells, 3)
suppressor T cells

35
Q

It is considered one of the most effective infection
prevention measures.

A

HAND HYGIENE

36
Q

a chemical preparation, such as
phenol or iodine compounds, used on inanimate
objects.

A

DISINFECTANT

37
Q

preparation destroys bacteria,
whereas a bacteriostatic preparation prevents the
growth and reproduction of some bacteria.

A

bactericidal

38
Q

process that destroys all microorganisms,
including spores and viruses.

A

STERILIZATION

39
Q

most practical and
inexpensive, some spores and viruses are
not killed. Min 15 mins for disinfection at
home

A

BOILING

40
Q

ionizing (alpha,beta and xray) and non-ionizing (UV light) , rays do
not penetrate deeply

A

RADIATION

41
Q

A specific type of aseptic technique
with a unique Theoretical and
Clinical Practice Framework based
upon the original concept of KeyPart and Key-Site Protection where
staff identify and protect key parts
and key sites (Rowley 2011)

A

ASEPTIC NON-TOUCH
TECHNIQUE

42
Q

The critical part of equipment
that comes into contact with a key site.

A

KEY PART

43
Q

part of the body that is at
risk of contamination if ANTT is not used
e.g. wound, urethral meatus, insertion
and access sites for medical devices.

A

KEY SITE

44
Q

REVIEW THIS

A
  • A – Always ensure hands are decontaminated effectively prior to
    the procedure
    N – Never contaminate key parts of sterile materials/equipment or
    the patient’s susceptible key sites
    T – Touch non-key parts with confidence
    T –Take appropriate infection prevention and control precautions
    e.g. use of PPE, safe waste management
