|
|
why do nasocomial infections occur
|
they can originate from clients(endogenous) or from hospital enviro(exodengous)
clients normal defenses have ben lowered by surgery or illness hands of personnel are number 1 vehicle of spreading mircoorganisms |
|
|
Define the following
*Bactermia *Septecimia |
*when a culture of the persons blood reveal microrganism
*whne bactermia reult in systemic infections |
|
|
describe the chain of infection
|
Etiologic agent=microorganism
Resevoir=place where the organism naturally resides (humans) Portal of exit from resevoir=most common resp tract, gi tract, urinary tract, reproduction tract, blood tissue method of transmission=a way to reach another person(direct,vehicle, vector, airborne, droplet) portal of entry to susceptible host=often by the same route they used to leave source Susceptible=any person who is at risk for infection |

*REMOVES DEAD SKIN CELLS & SOME BACTERIA *STIMULATES CIRCULATION *PRODUCES A SENSE OF WELL BEING *OFFERS NURSE A CHANCE TO ASSESS THE CLIENTS |
|
|
WHAT ARE THE 5 MAIN FUCNTIONS OF THE SKIN
|
*PROTECTION
*TEMPRERATURE REGULATION *SECRETE SEBUM PRODUCE AND ABSORB VITAMIN D *TRANSMITS SENSATION THROUGH RECEPTORS |
|
|
WHY IS ORAL HYGINE IMPORTANT IN THE PROVISION OF CLIENT

|
|
how do antispectics break the chain of infection
|
they inhibit th growth of some microorganism so the etiolgic agent and resevoir are interrupted
|
|
|
virulence
|
microorganisms with the ablility too produce diseases
|
|
|
what are commicable diseases
|
infections agent transmitted to an individual by direct or indirect contact through a vector or as airborne
