microbial numbers are significantly reduced by gently scrubbing living tissue,
most commonly skin, with a mild chemical to avoid pathogenic microbial trans-
mission; removes MOST (not all) microbes
13. ex of degerming handwashing, wiping skin with alcohol swab at injections site
14. personal hy- most ettective prevention for stopping the spread of hospital acquired infections
giene: hand- (HAI) and some foodborne disease
washing
15. CDC handwash- 1. wet your hands with clean, running water (warm of cold), turn ott the tap, apply
ing recommen- soap
dations for the 2. lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap, be sure to later the
general public backs of your hands, between fingers and under your nails
3. scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds (Happy Birthday song twice in your
head as a timer)
4. rinse your hands well under clean, running water
5. dry your hands using a clean towel or air-dry them
16. triclosan antibiotic soap; disinfectant and antiseptic chemical added to many products
17. alcohol gels, as ef-MOA- degrades protein and disrupts lipids in membrane
fective?
18. hospital acquired MRSA and VRSA; Clostridium diflcile; CRE; VRE; P. aeruginosa; Tb (tuberculosis);
infections (HAI) Norovirus
19. CDC shows the Why? Although alcohol-based hand sanitizers can inactivate many types of mi-
science crobes very ettectively when used correctly, people may not use a large enough
volume of the sanitizers or may wipe it ott before it has dried. furthermore, soap
and water are more ettective than hand sanitizers at removing or inactivating
certain kinds of germs, like Cryptosporidium, norovirus, and Clostridium diflcile
