Clinical Skills Exam 1|Complete and A+
Graded
single most important factor in preventing the spread of infections
hand hygeine
standard precautions
everything is infectious until proven otherwise
infection
invasion of pathogenic organisms that are actively causing illness
colonization
presence of organisms that are on or in a patient, but are not showing signs or symptoms of infection
primary routes of infectious disease transmission
contact
droplet
airborne
categories of isolation precautions
- contact precautions
- contact enteric precautions
- MDRO precautions
- droplet precautions
- airborne infection isolation (AFB) precautions
droplet
larger particle size, organism travels and then falls to a surface
airborne
smaller particle size enables organisms to travel long distances when suspended
* negative pressure rooms required
contact precaution organisms
MRSA
influenza
varicalla/zoster
RSV
Giardia
Lice
Scabies
CA-MRSA
community acquired MRSA
- often occurs in clusters
- presents as a skin or soft tissue infection, such as a boil or abscess, often described by patients as a
"spider bite"
,MDRO precaution organisms
VRE
Multi-drug resistant acinetobacter
KPC's
ESBLs producers
contact enteric precautions microorganisms
clostridium difficile
Hep A
rotavirus
shigella
norovirus
salmonella
camplyobacter
special considerations for c. diff
transmitted by spores that are resistant to alcohol sanitizer, but susceptible to bleach
hand washing is necessary
