A stress disorder characterized by gradually lessening of compassion over time 
Compassion fatigue

Exposure or transmission of a communicable disease from one person to another by physical contact 
Direct contact

Infection control
Reactions to stress that OCCUR DURING a stressful situation 
Acute stress reactions 
A medical condition caused by the growth in spread of small harmful organisms within the body 
Infectious disease 
 The body’s ability to protect itself from acquiring a disease
Immune
A micro organism that is capable of causing disease in a susceptible host 
Pathogen
The tactical use of an impenetrable barrier for protection 
Cover
The body‘s response to a stress that begins with an alarm response, followed by stage of reaction and resistance, and then recovery or if the stress is prolonged exhaustion
General adaptation syndrome 
Hey situation in which a person has had contact with blood body, fluids, tissues, or airborne particles in a manner that suggest disease transmission may occur
Exposure
A disease that can be spread from ONE PERSON OR SPEICES TO ANOTHER
Communicable disease 
A delayed stress reaction to a prior incident, often the result of one or more unresolved issues concerning the incident, and may relate to an incident that involves physical harm or the threat of physical harm

Blood-borne pathogens 
The presence of infectious organisms ON OR IN objects, such as dressings, water, food, needles, wounds, or a patient’s body 
Contamination 
The capacity of an individual to cope with, and recover from the stress 
Resilience 
The spread of an organism via DROPLETS OR DUST

Exposure or transmission of disease from one person to another by contact with a contaminated object 
Indirect contact 
The use of object to limit a persons ability to see you 
Concealment 
Do use of an animal to spread an organism from one person or place to another 
Vectorborne transmission 
A combination of EXAUSTION, cynicism and reduced performance, resulting from long-term job stresses in healthcare and other high stress professions 
Burnout
Protective measures that have traditionally been developed by the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) for use in dealing with objects, blood, body fluids and other potential exposure risk of communicable disease. 
Standard precautions 
Protective equipment that blocks exposure to a pathogen or a hazardous material
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
