53
Source of pathogen Humans (client, visitors, healthcare personnel) Animals (insects, rats), Plants

Portal of Exit
55
way for the pathogen to travel or transfer like direct contact, airborne, droplet
mode of transmission

Vehicle Transmission
62
occurs when fine particles are suspended in the air for a long time or when dust particles contain pathogen air currents disperses microorganisms which can be inhaled or deposited on the skin of susceptible host

implemented to prevent infection for people whose resistance to infection/body defense are lowered or compromised ex: clients with low WBCcount (leukopenia), immunosuppressed, under chemotherapy, extensive burns client should be in a private room meticulous handwashing, restriction of visitors persons with signs and symptoms of infection are not allowed to visit (Ex: cough, colds, diarrhea, skin infection) no fresh fruits or vegetables, raw foods fresh flowers, potted plants only cooked or canned fruits is allowed
