Describe strategies for implementing CDC guidelines for
standard and transmission-based precautions when
caring for patients. - ...ANSWER...✓✓ • Transmission-
based precautions: CDC precautions used in patients
known or suspected to be infected with pathogens that
can be transmitted by airborne, droplet, or contact routes;
used in addition to standard precautions
• The 2007 guidelines include a directive to don personal
protective equipment (PPE) when entering the room of a
patient on contact or droplet precautions. These
categories recognize that a disease may have multiple
routes of transmission.
• The three types of transmission-based precautions
(airborne, droplet, or contact) may be used alone or in
combination, but always in addition to standard
precautions.
Differentiate recommended techniques for medical and
surgical asepsis. - ...ANSWER...✓✓ • Asepsis is the
absence of infection (microbes). We are responsible for
always working towards asepsis
• Medical asepsis- clean technique.
• Surgical asepsis- sterile technique

nursing assessments. Follow-Up Assessment- -
...ANSWER...✓✓ one that is conducted at regular intervals

Define and describe the purpose of the five types of
nursing assessments. Emergency Assessment -
...ANSWER...✓✓ performed when a physiologic or
psychological crisis presents to identify life-threatening
problems.
Define and describe the purpose of the five types of
nursing assessments.Time-Lapsed Assessment -
...ANSWER...✓✓ - scheduled to compare a patient's
current status to the baseline data obtained earlier.
