internal transmission (mosquito, flea, tick)
▶ Barrier precautions. Answer: •include the appropriate use of PPE such
as gowns, gloves, masks, eyewear, and other protective devices or
clothing.
▶ Contact precautions PPE. Answer: gown and gloves
▶ Droplet precautions PPE. Answer: a surgical mask when within 3 feet of
the patient, proper hand hygiene, and some dedicated-care equipment.
▶ Airborne precautions PPE. Answer: negative air flow room (airborne
infection isolation room)
N95 respirator
▶ Protective environment PPE. Answer: a specialized room with positive
airflow.
▶ what is the appropriate technique to maintain safe client handling?.
Answer: widen base of support
increase balance by bringing center of gravity closer to base of support
▶ safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM). Answer: improved
assessment, use of mechanical equipment and safety procedures to lift and
move patients
, ▶ what is the importance of proper positioning and movement for
promoting clients comfort?. Answer: proper positioning and placing them in
correct body alignment can help reduce pressure risks
movement is important because immobility can cause many systemic
effects

of alveoli)
hypostatic pneumonia ( inflammation of lung from stasis or pooling
secretions
▶ Cardiovascular System: Effects of Immobility. Answer: orthostatic
hypotension
thrombus
▶ Musculoskeletal System: Effects of Immobility. Answer: loss of
endurance and muscle mass
