FINALS PAV Flashcards
a measurement we take in advance, to prevent dangerous, unpleasant or inconvenient from happening
precaution
refers to the practice in medicine or hospital of avoiding contact of patient’s bodily fluid, by means of wearing nonporous article
universal precaution
an approach to an infection control to treat all human blood and certain human body fluid as if they were known to be infectious like HIV and other blood borne pathogen
universal precaution
universal precaution was introduced by whom
centers for disease control (CDC)
when was universal precaution introduced
1985
innovation of CDC in 1987 for universal precaution that advocates to avoid physical contact to people with moist and potentially infectious body
body substance isolation
it emphasized handwashing after removing gloves
body substance isolation
in what year CDC introduced another set of guidelines for isolation precautions in hospital to practice infection control in hospitals
1996
3 transmission based precaution
airborne, droplet, contact
these are applied universally in caring for all patients and healthcare workers
- handwashing
- decontamination of equipment and devices
- use and disposal of needles and sharps safely
- wearing protective items
- prompt cleaning up of blood and bloody fluid spills
- systems for safe collection of waste and disposal
defined as control guidelines designed to protect workers from exposure to diseases spread by blood and other body fluids
universal precaution
according to them, universal precaution are intended to prevent parenteral, mucous membrane, and nonintact skin exposures of healthcare workers to bloodborne pathogens
CDC
body substances include?
blood, oral secretions, feces, urine, wound drainge, emesis
it is previously known by various names including “universal precaution” and the basic level of infection control
standard precaution
it is designed to reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne and other pathogens from both recognized and unrecognized sources to a susceptible host
standard precaution
standard precautions apply when there is a risk of potential exposure to?
blood, all body fluids, non-intact skin, mucous membranes
it is the most single important means to prevent transmission of disease
hand hygiene
hospital infection is the result of a combination of factors?
microbial source, transmission, susceptinle host
they are the variety of microorganisms that can create a disease
microbial source
5 main types pathogenic organism
virus, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms
it is the action that will process the microbial source and once activated, it will host or surface it can hold
transmission
transmits from one person to another and they are the source of virus in a community
susceptible host
years where there were separation of facilities, antisepsis, and disinfections
1877, 1910
two level approach of standard precautions
- standard precautions which apply to all clients and patients attending healthcare facilities
- transmission-based precautions which apply only to hospitalized patients
year where isolation precautions was introduced as there were new pathogens like SARS, avian influenza, H5N1, H1N1
2007
additional measures focused on the particular mode of transmission and are always in addition to standard precautions
transmission-based precautions
precautions done in contact precautions
hand hygiene, gown, gloves on all room entries, regardless of anticipated patient contact
transportation precaution in contact precautions
cover patient with clean sheet
droplets can be generated through
coughing, sneezing, talking, during the performance of procedures
precautions done in droplet precautions
hand hygiene, surgical mask
precaution in transporting patient in droplet precaution
patient must wear surgical mask
precautions for airborne precaution
hand hygiene, respirator n-95 or capr
precaution in transporting patient in airborne precaution
patient must wear surgical mask
precaution in contact and droplet precautions
hand hygiene, gown, surgical mask, gloves
precaution in contact and airborne precautions
hand hygiene, gown, respirator n-95 or capr, gloves on all room entries, regardless of anticipated patient contact
this is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as hospital
nosocomial infection
nosocomial infections are interchangeably used with terms
health-care associated infections and hospital-acquired infections
this term was traditionally used to describe infections that developed infections that were acquired in the hospital but did not develop until after discharge
nosocomial infection
how long is the incubation period for signs and symptoms of nosocomial infection to show
48 hours
transmission of nosocomial infections occurs via
healthcare workers, patients, hospital equipment, or interventional procedures
common site(s) of infection
blood stream, lungs, urinary tract, surgical wounds
though any bacteria may cause nosocomial infection, there is an increasing incident causing hospital acquired infection
multi-drug resistant pathogen
most common cause of nosocomial infection
bacteria
factors that are risk for a nosocomial infection
increasing age, length of hospitalization, excessive or improper use of broad-spectrum antibiotics , and number of invasive devices and procedures, underlying conditions
most common type of pathogens causing nosocomial infection
staphylococcus aureus
other type of pathogens causing nosocomial infection
escherichia coli, enterococci, candida
causes of nosocomial infection
urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, bloodstream infections, pneumonia
prevention of nosocomial infection
hand hygiene, appropriate antimicrobial use, proper PPE use, routine disinfection, remove indwelling devices as soon as possible
these are illnesses that result from the infection, presence, and growth of pathogenic biologic agents in an individual human or other animal host
communicable diseases
communicable diseases are also known as
infectious disease or transmissible diseases
pathogens that cause communicable disease
bacteria, fungi, virus
it refers to a group of conditions that are not mainly caused by an acute infection, result in long-term health consequences and often create a need for long-term treatment and care
non-communicable disease
non-communicable disease is also known as
chronic diseases
4 main types of ncds
cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes
study of distribution and determinants of diseases and injuries in human populations
epidemiology
individuals specialized postgraduate education in epidemiology
epidemiologist
involves reproduction of microorganisms in the human body and state produces by the establishment or one or more pathogenic agent
infection
collective term used to describe related clinical signs and symptoms associated with an infections agent unknown etiology
disease
particular abnormal condition or it has negatively effect in our body or function of our body
disease
defined as the presence of microorganisms o the body (commonly on hands) or an inanimate objects
contamination
presence of constituent, impurity, or some other undesirable element that destroys to an object
contamination
individual who carries and has capacity to pass disease and may or may not display symptoms; either pass through genetic mutation or transmit a disease
carrier
carrier that is infected without symptoms
asymptomatic carrier
carrier that is carrying early in disease
incubation carrier
carrier that is carrying in last phases of recovery
convalescent carrier
carrier that carries disease for long periods after recovery
chronic carrier
to make something or someone ready for a procedure or activity
preparation
cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening
preparation
giving or application of a pharmacologic or other therapeutic agent
administration
entry point to the patient
vein
steps before doing an iv procedure
review the order of physician, gather all supply needed for specific procedure, approach, identify and prepare patient for process, maintain proper hygiene
medical technique that delivers fluids, medications, and nutrition directly into a person’s vein; fastest way possible to deliver essential nutrients to body
iv therapy
this route of administration is commonly used for rehydration or to provide nutrition for those who cannot consume food or water by mouth
intravenous
different uses of iv therapy
fluids, blood transfusions, medications, nutritions
it involves a small tube called catheter and a saline-based electrolyte solution that contains the selected vitamins and nutrients
