47
Standard precautions
treating blood, body fluids, nonintact skin and mucous membranes as if they were infected. (tears, saliva, sputum, urine feces

49
chain of infection
1. causative agent 2. reservoir(Where pathogen lives) 3. portal of exit((nose, mouth, eyes, or skin cut) 4. mode of transmission(contact, droplet, and airborne transmission) primary route in health care setting is via hands of health workers 5. portal of entry(nose, mouth, eyes, skin cuts, cracked skin) 6. susceptible host(low immune system, age, existing illness, fatigue, poor nutrition, lack of fluid, stress, medications
50
Infection prevention
Methods used to prevent infection by controlling the spread of disease. wash hands, wear gloves wash all skin surfaces after removing gloves wear disposable gown wear mask wear gloves to handle blades and needles Never attempt to recap needles or sharps after use bag all disposable contaminated supplies
