• TINY ANIMALS OR PLANTS THAT CAUSE A DISEASE

• PROFLIFERATE IN DARK, WARM, AND MOIST ENVIRONMENT

MICROORGANISM

A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GROW AND REPRODUCE

RESERVOIR

IT IS PERSON WITH INFECTION

HOST

PORTALS OR POINTS WHERE THEY CAN LEAVE THE HOST

EXIT

MODES ON HOW THEY CAN BE SPREAD

TRANSMISSION

EXUDATE FROM WOUND

DROPLET

PORTALS WHERE THEY CAN ENTER A HOST AND CAUSE A DISEASE

INFECTION

REFERS TO HOSTS THAT CANNOT REPEL OR DESTROY MICROORGANISMS THAT HAVE ENTERED THEIR SYSTEM

SUSCEPTION

PRACTICES THAT HELP REDUCE THE NUMBER AND SPREAD OF MICROORGANISMS

MEDICAL ASEPSIS

PRACTICES THAT RENDER AND KEEP OBJECTS AND AREAS FREE OF ALL MICROORGANISMS

SURGICAL ASEPSIS

DESIGNED TO PROTECT HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS OR INFECTION STATUS

STANDARD PRECAUTIONS

DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE CAREGIVER FROM SPECIALIZED PATIENTS WITH HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE PATHOGENS

TRANSMISSION BASED PRECAUTIONS

• MOST IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE HYGIENE

• REDUCING SPREAD OF INFECTION SIGNIFICANTLY

HAND HYGIENE

WHAT ARE THE 2 PRIMARY METHODS FOR HAND HYGIENE

HAND RUBBING

HAND WASHING

• USING ALCOHOL BASED WATERLESS ANTISPETIC TECHNIQUE

• MOST EFFECTIVE DECONTAMINATION TECHNIQUE WHEN HAND WASHING GIS NOTE REQUIRED

HAND RUBBING

• IT USES KNEE OR FOOT OPERATED CONTROLS OR AUTOMATIC DISPENSERS

HAND WASHING

• FORM OF SURGICAL ASEPSIS

• DESIGNED TO KEEP AN AREA FREE FROM PATHOGENS

• DESIGNED MAINTAIN THE STERILITY OF OBJECTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE FIELD

• AFFECTING THE HEALING PROCESS OF PATIENT

STERILE FIELD

OBJECTIVE STATE OF ILL HEALTH, WHICH MAY BE VERIFIED BY ACCEPTED CANONS OF PROOF

DISEASE

SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF LOSS OF HEALTH— COUCHED IN TERMS OF SYMPTOMS

ILLNESS

AN UMBRELLA TERM USED TO REFER TO THE EXPERICENS OF DISEASE PLUS ILLNESS

ILL-HEALTH

ORGANISMS THAT CAN ONLY BE SEEN BY A MICROSCOPE

MICROORGANISMS

WHAT ARE THE THINGS NEED FOR MICROORGANISMS TO LIVE

WARM TEMP.

MOISTURE

DARKNESS

MICROORGANISMS WHICH LIVE IN A ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT OXYGEN

ANAEROBIC

MICROORGANISMS WHICH NEEDS OXYGEN TO LIVE

AEROBIC

A MICROORGANISM THAT DOES NOT CAUSE DISEASES

NONPATHOGENIC

A MICRO ORGANISMS WHICH IS DISEASE PRODUCING

PATHOGENIC

CAN BE TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS

BACTERIA

• SMALLER THAN BACTERIA

• CANNOT BE TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS

VIRUS

LARGER THAN VIRUS, GROW WITHIN HOST CELL

PROTOZOA

LOW FORM OF PLANT LIF, INCLUDES MOLD & YEAST

FUNGI

SOME MICRO ORGANISMSS PRODUCE POSIONS THAT AFFECT THE BODY

TOXINS

HOW DOES MICROORGANISMS SPREAD?

DIRECT

INDIRECT

AIRBORNE

ORAL ROUTE

VECTOR BORNE

CAUSED BY INFECTING THE PATIENT WITH A NEW MICROORGANISM FROM ANOTHER PATIENT OR HEALTHCARE WORKER

CROSS INFECTION

INFECTION WITH THE SAME MICROORGANISM THAT CAUSE THE ORIGINAL ILLNESS

REINFECTION

INFECTION BY THE PATIENT'S OWN ORGANISMS; AN ILLNESS PASSING FROM THE PATIENT TO THE HEALTH CARE WORKER OR FROM WORKER TO PATIENT

SELF INOCULATION

MAKE FREE FROM ALL LIVING ORGANISMS

STERILIZE

PROCESS OF FREEING FROM MICROORGANISMS BY PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL MEANS

DISINFECTION

STERILIZE RS WHICH USE STEAM FROM UNDER PRESURE TO KILL ALL ORGANISMS

AUTOCLAVES

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ISOLATION

RESPIRATORY

SKIN AND WOUND

ENTERIC

STRICT

WHAT ARE THE ISOLATION PRECAUTIONS

PROTECTIVE ISOLATION

REVERSE ISOLATION

THIS PRE CAUTIONS GUARDS WORKERS AND VISITORS FROM DANGER

PROTECTIVE ISOLATION

GUARDING THE PATIENT FROM DANGER

REVERSE ISOLATION
