24
Low-cholesterol diet
Diet restricting foods high in saturated fat
25
Low-protein diet
Diet limits food high in protein
26
Low-residue diet
Limits foods containing large amounts of residue (indigestibles)
27
Metabolism
Use of food nutrients by the body to produce energy
28
Nosocomial
Originating in a health care facility such as a hospital
29
Nutrition
All body processes related to food; body's use of food for growth, development, and health
30
Opportunistic
Acting and taking advantage of opportunities
31
OSHA
Occupational safety and health administration
32
Osteoporosis
Bones become brittle and break easily
33
PASS
- pull the pin - aim the nozzle - squeeze the handle - sweep
34
Pathogen
Disease-producing organisms
35
Protozoa
one celled organisms often found in decayed materials and contaminated water
36
RACE
- rescue anyone in immediate danger - activate the alarm - confine the fire - extinguish the fire
37
Rickettsiae
Microorganisms that live on other organisms
38
Sterilization
Process that results in total destruction of microorganisms
39
Virus
One of a large group of small microorganisms that cause disease
40
Cilia
Hairlike projections
41
Autoclave is good for how long
30 days
42
Chemical disinfection
chemicals that kill everything besides spores and viruses, not a method of sterilization
43
Lipids in body
called triglycerides, or the fats and fatty acids found in the body
44
Importance of water
regulates body functions, essential for digestion of food, helps body tissues absorb nutrients, moves waste material through the body, makes up most of blood plasma and cytoplasm of cells
45
Antibiotics
Powerful medicines used to prevent bacterial infections
46
Basal metabolic rate
(BMR) rate at which the body uses energy just for maintaining its own tissue without doing voluntary work
47
Mechanical digestion
Food is broken down by teeth and moved through digestive system by peristalsis, which is a rhythmic, wavelike motion of the muscles
48
Chemical digestion
Food is mixed with digestive juices secreted by the mouth, stomach, small intestine, and pancreas. Juices contains enzymes which break down food chemically so nutrients are absorbed
49
Sources of protein
Complete protein: meats, fish, milk, cheese, eggs Incomplete protein: cereals, soybeans, dry beans, peas, corn, nuts
50
Risk factors associated with obesity
Heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke
51
Risk factors of nosocomial infections
Cause serious or life-threatening infections like staphylococcus, pseudomonas, and enterococci, spread to other patients and workers
52
Role of nutrition
Includes all body processes relating to food-digestion, absorption, metabolism, circulation, elimination. These allow the body to use food for energy, maintain good health and growth
53
Portal of exit
Way for the causative agent to escape from the reservoir where it has been growing
54
Portal of entry
Way for the causative agent to enter a new reservoir or host, like breaks in the skin, digestive tract, or respiratory tract
55
Reservoir
Area where the causative agent can live; common reservoirs are humans, animals, environment, fomites
56
Mode of transmission
Way the causative agent can be transmitted to another reservoir or host: direct or indirect contact, air or droplet, vectors, vehicle
57
Best reservoirs
Blood and skin
58
Host
Prison likely to get infection or disease because body defenses are weak
59
Infectious or causative agent
A pathogen, such as bacteria or a virus than can cause a disease
