observed outcome of critical thinking and decision-making
Clinical judgment aka: observe and access presenting situations, identify a prioritized
client concern, and generate the best possible evidence-based
solutions in order to deliver safe client care

Surgical Asepsis = sterile technique (complete elimination of micro-
organisms) vs
Medical Asepsis = general clean technique (reduction of micro-
Surgical vs Medical
organisms) > care for a client with an infectious disease, prevent the
client from being re-infected by the same pathogen, and prevent clients
and healthcare workers from being
infected with new pathogens
chemical or physical method to remove most microorganisms from a
surface or item
vs
Decontamination vs Disinfection vs using a chemical or physical method to remove most pathogens but
Sterilization not all microorganisms
vs
chemical or physical method to remove all microorganisms (moist
heat, a combination of heat and pressure, gas, radiation, and boiling
water)
solution that prevents the growth of some microorganisms (mainly
Antiseptic
on skin) ex: hexachlorophene, iodine, alcohol, and antiseptic
hand washes
Clinical Reasoning and Infection week1
Control: Hand Hygiene
> Handwashing = Washing hands with regular soap and water
> Antiseptic handwashing = washing hands with antiseptic
soap and water; procedure is used to destroy microorganisms
on the surface of the skin
Types of Handwashing
> Antiseptic hand rub = using an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer; applying a waterless antiseptic agent
> Surgical hand antisepsis = scrubbing hands and forearms with
antimicrobial soap or an alcohol-based hand-scrub product; destroy
transient microorganisms and
inhibit the growth of resident microorganisms
> immediately before touching a client
> before performing an assessment
> when moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body
When to use: Hand Rub site during client care
> after touching a client or the client's immediate environment
> after contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces
> after removing gloves
> when hands are visibly soiled
> when a client has, or is suspected to have, an infectious process
When to use: Hand Wash
> when exposed to infectious bacteria like Clostridium
difficile and Bacillus anthracis
Clinical Reasoning and Infection week1
Control: Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)
The correct order for putting on PPE gown, mask, goggles, and gloves
is....
protect the caregiver's hands and stop any germs or infectious items
Gloves
on the caregiver's hands from reaching the patient
used to protect the caregiver's arms and body, including clothing and
Gowns any uncovered skin, from being contaminated with blood, body fluids,
or other potentially infectious materials
