Antibacterial - answer Directed or effective against bacteria
Antiseptic - answer Preventing or arresting the growth of microorganisms
Dyspnea - answer Labored or difficult breathing
Apnea - answer Absence of breathing
Tachypnea - answer Excessively rapid breathing
Respiration - answer Measurement consists of one inhalation and one exhalation
Blood Pressure (B/P) - answer The force that circulating blood exerts against artery
walls as the heart contracts and relaxes. (mmHg)
Systolic pressure (SBP) - answer The pressure created in the arteries when the heart
contracts and forces blood out. First sound you hear.
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) - answerThe pressure remaining in the arteries when
the heart is relaxed. Last sound you hear.
Perfusion - answerBlood flow through tissue, providing oxygen and nutrients while also
removing waste.
Hypotension - answerAbnormally low blood pressure; may cause insufficient perfusion
of internal organs
Hypertension - answerAbnormally high blood pressure; may cause rupture of the
arteries and destruction of organs.
Vital Signs - answerTemperature, Pulse, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rate, Pulse
Oximetry (SPO2), and Pain
OPQRST (History of Present Illness-HPI) - answerOnset,Provocation,Quality,Region,
Severity,Time
SAMPLE - answerSign and symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Pertinent past medical

Pathogen - answerA disease producing microorganisms.
Microorganisms - answerAn organism of microscopic or ultramicroscopic size.
Isolation - answerA separation for the period of communicability of infected people or
animals. To limit the spread.
Links of chain of infection - answerInfectious Agent> Reservoir>Portal of Exit>Mode of
Transmission>Portal of Entry>Susceptible Host
Infectious Agent (Pathogen) - answerDisease causing microorganism.
Reservoir - answerA place where the pathogen grows and may or may not multiply.
Portal of Exit - answerAn exit route for the pathogens to leave its host.
Mode of Transmission - answerThe manner in which an infectious agent moves from
one source to another.
Portal of Entry - answerPlace where a pathogen enters the body.
Suceptible Host - answerA person who becomes ill after pathogens enter the body
because they cannot fight off the pathogen.
Any Portal of Exit can be used as - answerA Portal of Entry
