proper disposal
Stages of infection
1. incubation (organism growing)
2. prodromal stage (most infectious, infection spread)
3. full stage of illness (full stage of sickness)
4. convalescent (road to recovery)
hallmark signs of acute infection?

techniques used to destroy all pathogenic organisms, also called sterile technique
toddle vita signs
temp: 96-99
pulse: 70-150
, rr: 20-40

factors contributing to tacycardia
decreased blood pressure
excersie
pain

poor oxygen
pulse strength
3+ is full, bounding
2+ is normal
1+ is weak
0 is absent
assessing apical pulse
apical pulse located @ the fifth intercostal space
pulse defict
difference between apical + radial rates not all heartbeats are reaching the arties
