Answers
, components of the infection cycle** drag and drop test - infectious agent (virus, bacteria, fungus)
hint** - reservoir (habitat of organism, ex: nose)
- portal of exit (how organism escapes, ex: resp tract)
- means of transmission (ex: direct contact, airborne)
- portal of entry (point where organism enters new host)
- susceptible host (person with weakened immune system)
common portals of exit - respiratory tract
- GI tract
- GU tract
- breaks in skin
- blood and tissue
stages of infection** drag and drop test hint** - pre-exposure stage
- incubation period (no signs/symptoms)
- prodromal stage (early non-specific signs/symptoms, most infectious stage)
- full stage of illness (specific signs/symptoms of disease)
- convalescent period (recovery)
factors affecting host susceptibility - age
- intact/broken skin
- gender
- stress
- race
- genetics
- general health status
- immune status
- chronic diseases
5 moments for hand hygiene (WHO)** test hint** 1. Before touching a patient
2. Before a clean or aseptic procedure
3. After body fluid exposure risk
4. After touching a patient
5. After touching patient surroundings
When to use soap and water for hand hygiene - visibly soiled hands
- contact with C. Diff
- before eating
- after using the bathroom
- before assisting with surgical procedure
when to use alcohol based hand sanitizer - before/after patient contact
- after contact with body fluids if hands not visibly soiled
- after removing gloves
- after contact with items in patient's environment
