microorganism that may lack cell walls or are gram-positive or gram-negative, typically live in soil,
water, organic matter, or the bodies of plants and animals.ANSWERBacteria
A specific causative agent (as a bacterium or virus) of disease located in the blood.ANSWERBlood-
born Pathogen
An infectious disease communicable by contact with one who has it, with a bodily discharge of such a
patient, or with an object touched by the patient.ANSWERContagious Disease (Communicable
Disease)
To soil, stain, or infect by contact or association.ANSWERContaminated
Union or junction of body surfaces.ANSWERDirect Contact
To free from infection especially by destroying harmful microorganisms.ANSWERDisinfectant/
Disinfection
(Fungus), any of the kingdom Fungi of saprophytic and parasitic spore-producing eukaryotic typically
filamentous organisms formerly classified as plants that lack chlorophyll and include molds, rust,
mildews, smuts, mushrooms, and yeasts.ANSWERFungi
,What does HAI stand for?ANSWERHealthcare Associated Infections
HAIs are also known as ________.ANSWERNosocomial Infections
HAIs, also known as a nosocomial infection; acquired or occurring in a hospital.ANSWERHealthcare
Associated Infections
An infective agent or material contaminated with an infective agent.ANSWERInfection
A separation for the period of communicability of infected people or animals from others, so as to
prevent or limit the direct or indirect transmission of the infectious agent from those who are
infected to those who are susceptible.ANSWERIsolation
An organism of microscopic or ultramicroscopic size.ANSWERMicroorganism
A group of infection prevention practices that apply to all patients, regardless of suspected or
confirmed diagnosis or presumed infection status.ANSWERStandard Precautions
A disease producing microorganisms.ANSWERPathogen
Microorganisms that are present in human blood, and can cause disease in humans (e.g., HIV
hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B).ANSWERBlood-borne Pathogens
These microorganisms can be transmitted from __________ to ___________, provider to
__________________, and ____________________ to patient.ANSWERPatient, provider, patient,
equipment
Microorganisms that are transported through the air (e.g., Tuberculosis)ANSWERAirborne Pathogens
A sequence of circumstances where all events must occur to develop an infection.ANSWERChain of
Infection
Disease causing microorganismANSWERInfectious Agent (Pathogen)
, Name the common types of infectious agents.ANSWERBacteria, Viruses, Protozoa, Fungi, Helminthes
A place where the pathogen grows (e.g., patient, staff member, animal, food) and may or may not
multiplyANSWERReservoir
An exit route for pathogens to leave its host (e.g., blood, skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract,
genitourinary tract, and gastrointestinal tract).ANSWERPortal of Exit
The manner in which an infectious agent moves from one source to another (e.g., touch, airborne
droplets, medical instruments, mosquitoes, vermin)ANSWERMode of Transmission
What does HAI stand for?ANSWERHospital Acquired Infection
What is the most frequent source of HAIs?ANSWERContact
What are the two types of contact?ANSWERDirect and Indirect Contact
Person to person or physical contact between source and susceptible host (e.g., fecal,
oral)ANSWERDirect Contact
Involves contact with contaminated inanimate objects (e.g., needles, utensils, hospital
equipment)ANSWERIndirect Contact
Occurs through a bite (e.g., fleas, ticks, mosquitoes)ANSWERVector Transmission
Occurs when the droplets from an infected person are projected a short distance to the host's nasal
mucosa, mouth or conjunctiva.ANSWERDroplet Infection
Occurs when infectious particles dispersed in the air enter the host by inhalation (e.g., coughing,
sneezing)ANSWERAirborne Transmission
Place where a pathogen enters the body (e.g., break in skin, mucous membrane, mouth, nose,
genitourinary tract)ANSWERPortal of Entry
