-MOISTURIZE
1. infectious agent or pathogen (etiologic agent): microorganisms, bacteria, fungi,
viruses, protozoa
2. reservoir or source for pathogen growth: place where pathogen can survive and
may or may not multiple
3. portal of exit: so they can enter another host and cause disease (ex. blood, skin,
chain of infection mucous membrane, GI tract, etc)
4. mode or means of transmission like a mosquitos *the major route of transmission
for pathogens identified in the health care setting is the unwashed hands of health
care workers**
5. portal of entry
6.susceptible host
1. incubation period (time interval between the entrance of the pathogen and the
appearance of the first symptons
2. prodromal stage: interval from the onset of nonspecific signs and symptoms to
infection process
more specific signs and symptoms
3. illness stage: interval when client manifests signs and symptoms specific to type of
infection
1. local infection: limited to a specific body part
2. systemic infection: spreads and damages different parts of the body
3. bacteremia: microorganisms in the blood
types of infection 4. septicemia: bacteremia results in systemic infection
5. acute infections: appear suddenly or last a short period of time
6. chronic infections: may occur slowly over a long period of time, may last months
to years

-body defense mechanism
-inflammation
defense against infection
-vascular and cellular response
-inflammatory exudate

-apply ample amount of product to palm of one hand
technique for alcohol-based hand rub -rub hands together, covering all surfaces of hands and fingers with antiseptic
-rub hands together for several seconds until alcohol is dry
if the presence of a pathogen is found not necessarily. Infection occurs in a cycle that depends on the presence of all of the
does that mean that an infection will occur elements that make up the chain of infection. Infection develops if chain stays in tact
absence of pathogenic (disease- asepsis
producing) microorganisms
practices/procedures that assist in reducing aseptic technique
the risk for infection
includes procedures for reducing the number of organisms present and preventing
the transfer of organisms
-hand hygiene
-clean gloves
medical asepsis, or clean technique
-cleaning of environment
-disinfection of equipment
*includes all practices intended to confine a specific microorganism to a specific
area. Limits the number, growth, and transmission
prevents contamination of an open wound, serves to isolate the operative area from
the unsterile environment, and maintains a sterile field for surgery

destroy microorganisms or spores
surgical asepsis requires more stringent techniques than medical asepsis and is

*if the skin is broken or if an invasive procedure into a body cavity normally free of
microorganisms
microorganisms is performed, follow surgical aseptic practices
results from delivery of health services in a health care care facility
-can occur as the result of invasive procedures, antibiotic administration, the
health care associated infections
presence of multi-drug resistant organisms, and breaks in infection and prevention
control activities
-ones with multiple illnesses
-older adults
-poorly nourished
patients at greater risk for health-care
-lowered resistance to infection
associated infections are
*invasive procedures, medical therapies, long hospitalization, and contact with health
care personnel increases a hospitalized patient's risk for acquiring a health care
associated infection
major sites for health care facility acquired surgical or traumatic wounds, urinary or respiratory tract infection, and infections in
infections include the blood stream
