Q

Decontamination

A
  • a process or treatment that renders a medical device, instrument, or environmental surface safe to handle
  • sterilization, disinfection, and antisepsis
17
Q

Sterilization

A
  • a process that destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life/pathogens, including highly resistant pathogens (spores)
  • no degrees of sterilization, an all or nothing process
18
Q

Disinfection

A

a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores, on inanimate objects
- less effective than sterilization

19
Q

Antisepsis

A

the application of a liquid antimicrobial chemical to skin or living tissue to inhibit or destroy microorganisms

20
Q

Sequence for Putting on and Taking off Personal Protective Equipment

30
Q

Four W’s of Immunization
