Exam 3- Book Notes Flashcards
3 ingredients needed for fire
oxygen, fuel, heat
absorption
act or process of sucking up or in; taking in of nutrients
acetic spill clean up
remove ignition sources, use gloves- wipe up with paper towels
activity during a fire
remain calm- do not panic RACE R- rescue anyone in immediate danger A- Activate the alarm C- Contain/confine fire E- Extinguish
aerobic
pathogens that need oxygen to survive
AIDS
HIV- diagnosed 1982, didn’t know what it was until 1985-6ish
weakened immune system- opportunistic diseases more common
Amino Acids
basic component of proteins, 22 of them
Anaerobic
pathogens that do not need oxygen
antibiotics
used to kill bacteria, some bacteria become resistant
antioxidants
enzymes or organic molecules; help protect the body from harmful chemicals called free radicals
antisepsis
aseptic control that inhibits, retards growth of, or kills pathogenic organisms; not effective against spores or viruses
asepsis
being free from infection
autoclave is good for how long?
30 days
bacilli
rod-shaped bacteria
basal metabolic rate
amount of energy needed to maintain life when the subject is at complete rest
best reservoir
warm, dark, moist
bile production
produced by the pancreas, contains enzymes that break down food chemically
bird flu
caused by a virus, H5N1, rare in people
bland diet
easily digested foods that do not irrtate the digestive tract- ulcers, colitis, digestive diseases
body fluids
reproductive, blood, saliva, mucosal fluids…
body mechanics
the way in which the body moves and maintains balance; proper body mechanics involves the most efficient use of all body parts
border of sterile field
2 inch area around sterile field- considered contaminated
broad base of support?
yes, shoulder-width
calorie controlled diet
LOW CALORIE used for patients who are overweight avoid or limit high-calorie diets HIGH CALORIE used for patients who are underweight, anorexia nervosa cancer hyperthyroidism want to increase muscle mass high protein diet
calories per essential nutrients
Carbohydrates and Proteins- 4 calories/gram
Fats- 9 calories/gram
chain of infection
infectious agent->resverior->portal of exit->modes->portal of entry-> host->infectious…..
chemical cleaning
used on instruments that do not penetrate skin, high alcohol content + bleach + formaldehyde + germicide
articles are submerged
chemical digestion
begins in the mouth with the saliva
helps break down starches and carbs
stomach- little bit of CL
small intestine- uses pancreatic juice
chemical disinfection
used on instruments that do not penetrate skin, high alcohol content + bleach + formaldehyde + germicide
articles are submerged
cholesterol
fatlike substance synthesized in the liver and found in body cells and animal fats
Clean
free from organisms causing disease
contact precautions
patients with epidemiologically(capable of spreading rapidly) diseases, private room, gloves, gown, regular disinfection of surroundings
contamination of health care worker
try to avoid, clothes are considered infected
contaminated
containing infection or infectious organisms or germs
damaged equipment
do not use! dispose properly
define a N-95 or P-100
respirators, used in Airborne precautions
definition of organic compounds
any chemical compound containing carbon
diabetic diet
used with any type 1 or type 2 diabetic
Exchange lists are used to choose foods
cut carbs
avoid sugar-heavy foods
disaster policies
depend on the facility- tornado, earthquake…
digestion
physical and chemical breakdown of food by the body in preparation for absorption
diseases caused by virus
common cold, mumps, measles, chicken pox, herpes, warts, influenza, polio, HIV, West Nile, smallpox, bird flu, Hepatitis B & C
disinfection
aseptic-control method that destroys pathogens but usually does not kill spores or viruses
dry heat cleaning
high temp for long period, good method for corrosive objects, no rubber goods
Etiology
the study of the cause of a disease
