handwashing, gloves, PPE, Needle capping and biospills
all patients are potentially infectious

33
Q

whats the most effective way to preventing infection spread?

A

handwashing

34
Q

when should you use gloves?

A

any time a procedure or contact may include body fluids, blood, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes, non intact skin and contaminated items

35

gown first, mask, goggles then gloves

36
Q

sequence for doffing PPE

A

gloves, goggles, gown, mask

37
Q

transmission based precautions

A

airbone, droplet, contact

38
Q

airborne

A

required N95 mask
pathogenic organisms that remain suspended in the air for long periods on aerosol droplets or dust
patients places in negative pressure isolation room

39
Q

what types of conditions require a N95 mask (airbone)

A

TB, chickenpox, and measles

40
Q

droplet

A

must be 3ft within a patient wearing a surgical mask
-infected with pathogenic organisms
contact

41
Q

what types of conditions are droplet

A

rubella, mumps, flu, and adenovirus

42
Q

contact

A

-need gloves, gown and possible face shield and bouffant
-a patient infected with a virulent pathogen that spreads by direct contact with the patient or by indirect contact w/ a contaminated object

43
Q

what conditions are considered contact

A

staphylococcus aureus, hepatitis A, impetigo, varicella, and varicella zoster

44
Q

gloves and gown rules

A

never leave outside patient room with “dirty gown” and “dirty gloves”

45
Q

environmental precautions

A

bleached is used
must by soap and water for hand hygiene

46
Q

compromised/ immunosuppressed

A

AKA neutropenic and protective precautions
-patient who is at increased risk for infection against contact with potential pathogens
we have to wear PPE

47
Q

aseptic technique

A

can be used in all clinical settings
most of the time this is used in surgery and insertion of IV, catheters and drains

48
Q

medical asepsis

A

performing a removal or destruction of material

49
Q

surgical aspesis

A

used to prevent contamination of microbes and endospores before during and after surgery using sterile technique

50
Q

sterilization

A

to control microorganisms we must have autocave steam under pressure, dry heat, gas and chemicals

51
Q

disinfection

A

as many microorganisms as possible are removed from surfaces by chemical or physical means (boiling not always effective)

52
Q

what procedures require sterile technique

A

angiography, arthrograms, hysterosalpinograms, x-ray in the oR and myelograms

53
Q

sterile field

A

do not reach across a sterile field, must be more than one inch border, use sterile drape

54
Q

OR zones

A

zone 1unrestricted, may enter in street clothes
zone 2- semi-restricted , only person I scrubs and hair and shoes covered may enter
zone 3-restricted, like zone 2 + mask

55
Q

sterile gowning

A

only sleeves and front of gown down to waist are considered sterile

56
Q

what is sterile during a sterile procedure

A

anything blue
patient, table and other furniture covered with sterile drapes, personnel wearing sterile attire

skin preparation

A

circle motions, inside to out

A

insertion of a tube the bladder using aseptic technique
foley and straight
used to empty bladder, relieve retention, irrigate the bladder

foley

A

has a balloon which is filled with sterile water to hold the catherter in place

61
Q

straight

no balloon and used for short term/quick drainage

62
Q

non aspetic techniques

A

Ng tubes, male urinals, bedpans, enemas, colostomies

63
Q

barium enema

A

have patient in Sims position, lubricate enema tip, instruct patient to exhale, insert to umbilicus

64
Q

enema tip

A

non sterile

65

always associated with intubation
used for inadequate breathing, inadequate arterial oxygenation, severe airway obstruction, shock, parenchymal diseases that impair gas exchange, etc

66
Q

placement

A

distal tip of the tube should be 1-2 inches above the tracheal bifurcation, usually done through mouth or nose, cuff inflated with air and placed at mid trachea; pediatric tube does not have cuff

67
Q

complications with tube placement

A

most common misplacement is intubation of the right main bronchus; wider than left main bronchus and straighter than left main bronchus; tube may not be placed far enough; erosion of tracheal mucosa due to cuff trauma

68
Q

chest tubes

A

used to drain the intrapleural space and the mediastrunum (air and fluid)

69
Q

how lungs work

A

negative pressure is needed to explain the lungs and when liquid or air is in the pleural cavity, the lungs cannot expand

70
Q

nasogastric/ nasointestinal

A

patients cannot drink or eat with this
used to administration of medication, gastric decompression and removal of flatus and fluids from the stomach

71
Q

levin

A

single lumen is one line
most commonly used

72
Q

when is suction needed

A

excessive vomiting and unable to change position on their own; gurgling sounds

73
Q

suctioning in an emergency

A

suctioning is not in our scope of practice

74
Q

tracheostomies

A

used when theres an obstruction and we have to enter through a different way

75
Q

complications of central venous lines

A

one third of CVC lines places incorrectly
central line inserted on the right side should never corss the midline,left side needs to cross the midline and distal tip should not go bas SVC

76
Q

tissue drains

A

drain every 24 hours unless filled before hand

77
Q

ileostomy

A

surgical opening in the small intestine for colitis

78
Q

A

surgical opening in the large intestine for various disorders

79
Q

A

section at the end of the small bowl that is surgically removed and relocated as a passageway for urine to pass form the kidneys
