Nursing process - ANS.... -assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning,
implementation, evaluation
Infectious disease - ANS.... --caused by a pathogenic organism, such as
bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi
-can spread through contact (direct or indirect), fluid exchange, exposure to
vectors, the environment
,Normal defences against infection (3) - ANS.... -1. normal flora
2. inflammatory response
3. body system defences
normal flora - ANS.... --can be found on the skin or the GI tract
-live on another living organism (human or animal) or inanimate object
without causing disease.
-important in fighting disease, when not enough Normal flora; body
defences are lowered and disease grows
what can reduce normal flora - ANS.... -broad-spectrum antibiotics , when
abused can cause diarrhea or rash
Defence of respiratory tract - ANS.... -cilia in airways trap organisms and
move them up pharynx to be removed
defence of eyes - ANS.... -tearing up and blinking
defence of GI tract - ANS.... -acidity and gas destroys some organisms,
also peristalsis (contraction) removes some microorganisms
defence of inflammation - ANS.... -cellular response to injury or infection,
build-up of WBC target harmful microorganisms
defence of skin - ANS.... -shedding of the outer layer, fatty acids destroy
some bacteria
,HAI - ANS.... -Healthcare-associated infection
ARO - ANS.... -antibiotic-resistant organism;
Can occur naturally, through mutations, picking up resistance genes
how can you tell if an antibiotic is ARO - ANS.... --increase disease
-emergence of multi-drug-resistance organisms
-use of alternative antimicrobials that are less effective and more toxic
-increased treatment failure
-increased mortality
MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) - ANS.... -an infection
caused by specific bacteria that has become resistant to many antibiotics
Staphylococcus aureus - ANS.... --found in healthy skin
-causes pimples and boils or pneumonia or blood infections
-resistant to methicillin
who is most likely to have an MRSA infection and what would it look like -
ANS.... --most likely elderly or very ill
-healthy person's nose or skin
-can develop an open wound (bedsore) around the invasive device, blood,
urine
How is MRSA transmitted? - ANS.... -contact and droplet
, What is VRE (Vancomycin-resistant enterococci)? - ANS.... -enterococcus:
- bacteria naturally present in the GI tract/shed through stool
Vancomycin:
- an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by most strains of
enterococcus
VRE:
- infection of urinary tract, surgical wounds or bloodstream, difficult to treat
and can be threatening
-very hard, found on hard surfaces for weeks to months and hands for
hours
modes of transmission - ANS.... -contact (direct or indirect) droplet,
airborne, common vehicle, vector
what are the 6 links in chain of infection - ANS.... -1. Infectious Agent (the
germ)
2. Reservoir (hiding places)
3. Portal of Exit (way out)
4. Mode of Transmission (getting around)
5. Portal of Entry (way too)
6. Susceptible Host (next sick person)
why should nurses know the chain of infections - ANS.... -to break one or
more links to prevent the spread and development of infection
infectious agents include... - ANS.... -bacteria, viruses, fungi
