APPROACH TO CARE ( dipps) - Correct Ans-Dignity- feeling worthy,respecting, valued
independence-let patients do what they can
Preference-patients make decisions alone
Privacy - Provide privacy during care
Safety -safe environment
Clinical judgment model - Correct Ans-1.recognizing cues- identify what is not normal
(ex, patient is feeling light-headed)
2. Analyze Data cues-make sense of the data, connect signs and symptoms to
conditions (ex; signs and symptoms of diabetes )
3. Priotize hypothesis- evaluate and rank hypothesis(urgency, likelihood/risk)
4. Generate solutions-identify expected outcomes with the hypothesis
4.take action-implement solution (vital signs)
5. Evaluate outcomes- expected us observed outcomes
Risk assessment - Correct Ans--Decrease risk of transmission of microorganisms and
promote healthy workplace environment
- should be done each time you interact with a patient
- what type of care,will you be in contact with or risk of body fluids
Chain of transmission - Correct Ans-1. infectious agent
2. Reservoirs
3.portal of exit
4. Mode of transmission
5. Portal of exit
6.susceptible host
, Infectious agent - Correct Ans-Pathogen/cause
-RESIDENT MICROORGANISMS - live on surface of skin
-TRANSIENT MICROORGANISMS- attach to skin, contact of another person ,
contamined things
-bacteria (streptococcus)
-viruses (chicken pox)
-fungi (athletic foot)
-parasite (malaria)
-prion
-STERILIZE, CLEAN AND DISINFECT ENVIRONMENT
resevoir - Correct Ans-Where
Portal of exit - Correct Ans--agent leaves reservoir or host
-urine
-coughing
-sneezing
-saliva
-vomit
-to break chain wear masks and PPE
Mode of transmission - Correct Ans--agent travels or spreads directly or indirectly
-contact (touching with hands or equipment)
-droplet (respiratory secretion)
-airborne (small particles stay in the air (over 2m)
-vehicle transmission- through water, air, food
-vector transmission- through living organisms transmit infectious agent (mosquitos) or
animal to human (fly to tick)
-to break chain do not share anything (bed pads) and MAINTAIN HAND HYGIENE
Portal of entry - Correct Ans--Infectious agent enters body or host
-mucous membranes
-eyes, nose, mouths, open wounds
-catheters, ventilators
-to break chain; similar to portal of exit but also ensure patient is wearing dressings
Susceptible host - Correct Ans--individuals at risk (clients, staff and visitors)
-susceptibility (degree of resistance a pathogen may be dependent)
-age (elderly and infants)
-illnesses( compromised immune system: chronic diseases or diabetes)
-defence mechanisms (Cancer)
-break chain (elderly are risk for pneumonia as they lack mobility)
Normal defences against infection - Correct Ans--normal flora (skin, mucus membrane)
-inflammatory response (breaks through the normal flora, cellular response eats up
bacteria
