1 mode of HAI’s
hand hygiene
Airborn Precautions
Respiratory infections: TB, chickenpox, measles, SARS
HCWs wear PAPR (powered air purifying respirator)
pt’s wear surgical mask out of room
Signs of Active TB
productive, prolonged cough (>3wks)
blood in cough
fevers, chills, night sweats, chest pain
appetite loss, fatigue
Droplet precautions
Used for sicknesses with large particles that escape with cough: Flu, mumps, meningococcal diseases (whooping cough)
PPE: mask and gloves
Contact PPE
gloves and gown
for antibiotic resistant bacteria (VRE and MRSA)
Passive Stretching def
the use of external force to joint or body within restricted joint ROM in attempt to gain motion; therex
Support
assistances provided distally to alleviate/control the load through movement
stabilization
proximal control provided to limit extraneous movement or to keep the patient from using substitution (prohibits motion)
What is positioning done for?
pt comfort
therapeutic benefit
pressure relief
joint integrity
good position for AKA
hip add and ext
good position of BKA
knee and hip ext
