Q

difference of medical asepsis to surgical

A

medical asepsis is the number of growth and transmission of microorganism are controlled while the surgical, objects/articles are free from pathogenic and non pathogenic organisms

20
Q

Medical asepsis, also known as _______ is a set of practices designed to reduce the number and transmission of disease-causing microorganisms after they leave the body. It is used to care for clients with infectious diseases, prevent reinfection of the client, and avoid spreading infection from one person to another or throughout the facility

A

clean technique

21
Q

The process of cleaning hands to remove dirt, grease, and microorganisms.

A

hand hygiene

22
Q

A substance used to reduce the number of microorganisms on the skin.

A

antiseptic

23
Q

A substance that inhibits the growth of bacteria.

A

antibacterial

24
Q

Specialized clothing or equipment worn to protect against hazards. Barrier protection: The use of PPE to prevent transmission of microorganisms.

A

ppe

25
Q

A designated area that is free from microorganisms and maintained in a sterile condition.

A

sterile field

26
Q

The process of maintaining sterility when performing a procedure.

A

aseptic technique

27
Q

A technique used to prevent
contamination by avoiding direct contact with the sterile field.

A

no-touch technique

28
Q

also known as sterile technique, is a set of practices designed to create a completely sterile environment during surgical procedures. thereby reducing the risk of infection and promoting a safe and healthy environment for the patient.
involves maintaining a sterile field, using sterile
instruments and equipment, and ensuring that all personnel involved in the procedure are properly attired in sterile attire. This, thereby reducing the risk of infection and promoting a safe and healthy environment for the patient.

31
Q

Surgicalasepsishelpstopromote effective healing by reducing the risk of infection and promoting a healthy environment for the patient.

A

promoting effective healing

32
Q

An infection occurs when germs enter the body, increase in number, and the body reacts. Only a small portion of germs can cause infection.
 Germs can be found in various sources such as people, surfaces, water, and medical equipment.
 Germs can be transmitted through physical contact, sprays and splashes, inhalation, and sharps injuries.
 Someone who is not vaccinated or otherwise immune, such as those with weakened immune systems or underlying medical conditions.

A

true

Q

Used for all patient care, including hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE), and aseptic techniques.

A

standard precautions

34
Q

Used for patients who may be infected or colonized with certain germs, including isolation and contact precautions.

A

transmission-based precautions

35
Q

Monitoring infection rates and implementing measures to reduce transmission.

A

surveillance

36
Q

Identify and eliminate sources of infection, such as contaminated surfaces and equipment.

A

sources

37
Q

Break the transmission pathway by implementing measures to prevent contact, sprays and splashes, inhalation, and sharps injuries.

A

transmission

38
Q

Protect susceptible individuals by implementing measures to prevent transmission and ensuring they follow proper hygiene practices.

A

susceptible person

39
Q

this is the microorganism (germ or bug) that can cause harmful infections and make you ill

A

infectious agent

40
Q

this is the person who is at risk of infection because they are unable to fight the infection.

A

susceptible host

41
Q

this is where the germs lives and grows

A

reservoir

42
Q

the germ then needs to find a way into another person

A

portal of entry way in

43
Q

once the germ is out it can spread from one person to another by hands or on equipment such as a commode, in the air by coughing or contract with body fluids and blood

A

mode of transmission
