With Solution
Chain of infection - ANSWER pathogen -> reservoir -> portal of exit -> mode
of transmission -> portal of entry -> susceptible host
standard precautions - ANSWER guidelines for preventing exposure to blood,
body fluids, secretions, excretions (except sweat), broken skin, or mucous
membranes
- used on every patient
- use PPE
hands should be washed... - ANSWER - before and after patient contact
- before putting on gloves and after taking them off

medical asepsis (clean technique) - ANSWER practices designed to reduce the
number of pathogens
- used for administration of meds, enemas, tube feeding, daily hygiene
, surgical asepsis (sterile technique) - ANSWER eliminates all pathogens
- used in dressing changes, catheterizations, surgical procedures
contact isolation - ANSWER prevents transmission of microorganisms by
direct/indirect contact with source
negative pressure room - ANSWER a room that is at a lower pressure than
the adjacent spaces so the flow of air is into the room
