What is needed in order to meet (OSHA'S) safety requirements? -
ANSWERS-Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The physical or chemical process that renders an inanimate object, such
as a medical device that may be contaminated with harmful microbes, safe
for further handling that may be accompanied with mechanical or
chemical cleaning. - ANSWERS-Decontamination
, What is the first step in the sterilization process? - ANSWERS-Cleaning
To make safe by removing or reducing contamination by infectious
organisms or other harmful substances; the reduction of contamination to
an acceptable level. - ANSWERS-Decontamination
All items returned to decontamination are considered? - ANSWERS-
Contaminated
What makes up the One-Way flow? - ANSWERS-1.) Soiled area
2.)Clean processing area
3.)Sterile storage area
minimizes exposure to bloodborne pathogens and other contaminants.
Includes fluid-resistant facemask, eye protection, a fluid-resistant cover
gown, general purpose utility gloves, and Aluid-resistant shoe covers. -
ANSWERS-Personal protective equipment (PPE)
What are the 4 main goals of point-of-use preparation and transport? -
ANSWERS-1.) Removal of gross soil- so the instruments are easier to
clean and to prevent damage
2.) Prevention of damage- soiled items must be prepared for transport to
prevent damage
3.) Prevention of cross contamination- soiled items must be transferred
from point of use to decontamination to prevent cross contamination
4.) Keeping others safe- Soiled items must be contained and labeled so
that everyone that comes in contact is safe during the transportation
process
All departments that use and store reusable items for later transport to
the Central Service departent need a designated holding area for
