LESSON 3 Flashcards
observed to prevent contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials
universal precaution
it means that all patient shall be assumed infected with HIV/AIDS and other blood-borne pathogens
universal precautions
suggested control measures for primary care clinics:
masking
handwashing
gloving
gowning
eye protection (eye googles)
environmental disinfection
5 moments of handwashing
before touching the patient
before a clean/ anticeptic technique
after body fluid exposure risk
after touching the patient
after touching the patient’s surrounding
activities helps the client maintain or enhance their present levels of health
health promotion
teaches people how to care for themselves in a healthy way
wellness
motivates people to avoid a decline in health or functional levels
illness prevention
it is the true prevention
primary prevention
it precedes a disease or dysfunction and is applied to clients considered physically and emotionally healthy
primary prevention
aims at health promotion that includes health education, immunization, and physical and nutritional fitness
primary prevention
focuses on individuals who are experiencing health problems or illness and who are at risk of developing complications or worsening conditions
secondary prevention
occurs when a defect or disability becomes permanent and irreversible
tertiary prevention
this involves minimizing the effects a long-term disease or disability through interventions directed at preventing complications and deterioration
tertiary prevention
preventive aspects
health education
immunization
sub-clinical
educate the family and client with respect to
health education
is the introduction of specific protective antibodies in a susceptible person or animal
immunization
is a condition of being secure against any particular disease
immunity
an immunity acquired through constant exposure to a particular disease or organism
sub-clinical
is any substance that causes the immune system to produce antibodies against it
antigen
it may be a foreign substance from the environment, such as chemicals, bacteria, viruses or pollen
antigen
may also be formed inside the body, as with bacterial toxins or tissue cells
antigen
types of antigen
inactivated and attenuated
are made from microorganisms that have been killed through physical or chemical processes
inactivated antigen
is a vaccine created by reducing the virulence of a pathogen, but still keeping it “live”
attenuated antigen
code of sanitation of the philippines
PD 856
maintain the temperature of the vaccines
cold dogs
process on how to maintain the temperature of vaccine
cold chain system
(point of source) protected well or a developed spring with an outlet but without a distribution system generally adoptable to rural areas
level 1
(communal faucet system or stand points) composed of a source reservoir, a piped distribution network, and communal
level 2
waterworks system or individual house connections
level 3
non water carriage toilet facility (pit latrines, reed odorless earth closet)- requires small amount of water to wash the waste
level 1
water-sealed and flush type with septic vault/tank disposal facilities
level 2
water carriage toilet connected to septic tanks or to sewerage system to treatment plant
level 3
in rural areas, type of waste water collection and disposal facility
blind drainage
all newly constructed/renovated government and private hospitals shall prepare and implement a:
hospital waste management program
application of gaseous agent to kill or drive microorganisms and insects
fumigation/ disinfection fogging
curative aspect
medical management
nursing management
rehabilitative aspect
activity
nutrition
means of controlling the spread of communicable disease
elimination of the source of infection
interruption of transmission
protection of susceptible host
the separation of patients w/ communicable disease from others
isolation
7 categories of isolation
strict iso.
contact iso.
respiratory iso.
TB iso.
enteric iso.
drainage/ secretion
universal precaution
to prevent highly contagious or virulent infections
strict isolation
to prevent the spread of infx primary by close or direct contact
contact iso.
to prevent transmission of infectious dxs over short distance through air
respiratory iso.
for TB patients with positive smear or w/ CX-ray strongly suggests active TB
TB iso
is for infx w/direct contact w/ feces
enteric iso
precauation to prevent infxs that are transmitted by direct or indirect contact w/ purulent materials or drainage from infected body site
drainage/secretion
which is applied when handling blood and body fluids
universal precautions
