◉ 5,000-10,000.
Answer: what is the normal white blood cell count of an adult?
◉ medical asepsis.
,Answer: practices designed to reduce the number and transfer of

◉ nosocomial infection.
Answer: an infection acquired during hospitalization
◉ standard precautions.
Answer: A strict form of infection control that is based on the
