37
Bacteria shapes
Cocci (spherical), Bacilli (rod shaped), Spirochetes (corkscrew)
38
Bacteria Gram Stain
Gram+ resists decolorization
Gram- can be decolorized by alcohol
39
Gram+
resists decolorization and requires broad spectrum
40
Bacteria Oxygen Requirements
Aerobic (require oxygen to live and grow)
Anaerobic (can live without oxygen)
41
Virus
smallest microorganism, which causes most infections
(Common cold, AIDS, etc) 
Antibiotics have no effect on viruses
42
Antiviral Medication
When given during the Prodromal stage of infectious cycle this medication can shorten the full stage of illness of SOME viruses
43
Factors that influence an organism's
potential to produce disease
LIVIN 
Number of organisms
Virulence of the organism, or its ability to cause disease
Competence of the person's immune system
Length and intimacy of the contact between the person and the microorganism
44
Stages of Infection
IPFC
 Incubation period
Prodromal stage 
Fullness of illness
Convalescent period
45
Reservoirs
People, animals, soil, food, water, milk, inanimate objects
46
Humans common Portal of Exit
Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, breaks in skin, blood, tissue
47
Human Portals of Entry
(Same as Exit) Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, breaks in skin, blood, tissue
48
Susceptibility
The degree of resistance the potential host has to the pathogen
49
Incubation Period
Interval between the pathogen's invasion of the body and the appearance of symptoms of infection. This can vary in length from as little as 1 day up to around 21 days.
50
Prodromal Stage
A person is most infectious during this stage, and early signs and symptoms of disease are present, although they are often vague and nonspecific. This can last several hours to several days.
51
Fullness Stage of Illness
Specific signs and symptoms (local and/or systemic);
The type of infection determines the length and severity of illness;
52
Convalescent Period
Recovery period; 
May be temporary or permanent changes to previous health state;
53
Normal Flora
This inhabits various body sites and helps to keep potentially harmful bacteria from invading the body
54
Inflammatory Response
Eliminates the invading pathogen and allows for tissue repair to occur. Can be an acute or chronic response. 
Acute signs are redness, heat, swelling, pain, loss of function.
Vascular stage- vasodilation of arterioles and venules, histamine release (increased permeability of vessels); Cellular stage - neutrophils engulf the organism/debris, and exudate is released from the wound
55
Immune Response
Helps the body defend against bacterial, viral and fungal infections, and malignant cells. The body produces antibodies to combat antigens. Increase in lymphocytes which destroy the cells the body recognizes as harmful.
56
Factors Affecting the Risk for Infection
Integrity of skin/mucous
pH levels of GI and GU tracts
Integrity and number of WBC's 
Age, sex, race, hereditary
Immunizations
Level of fatigue, nutrition, general health status, presence of preexisting illnesses, treatments, medications
Stress level
Use of invasive or indwelling medical devices
57
Nursing Process for Infection Prevention and Control
Assessing 
Diagnosing
 Outcome Identification and Planning
