chain of infection (6)
|
1. etiologic agent
2. reservoir 3. portal of exit from reservoir 4. method of transmission 5. portal of entry of susceptible host 6. susceptible host |
|
1. etiologic agent
|
to the extent the microorg. is capable of producing an infectious process
|
|
2. reservoir
|
the source of organism; carrier= a person or animal reservoir of a specific infectious agent that usually doesn't manifest any clinical signs of disease
|
|
3. portal of exit from reservoir
|
before infection can establish itself in a host, the microorg. must leave reservoir
|
|
4. method of transmission (3)
|
after a microorg. leaves its source or reservoir, it requires means of transmission through a receptive portal entry:
1. direct transmission 2. indirect transmission 3. airborne transmission |
|
A. Direct transmission
|
involves immediate and direct transfer of microorg from person to person through touching, biting, kissing, or sexual intercourse, and droplet spread (only if source and host are within w/in 1m (3ft))
|
|
B. Indirect Transmission (2)
|
1. Vehicle borne transmission= a Fomite (inanimate materials or objects) that serves as an intermediate means to transport and introduce an infectious agent into a susceptible portal of entry.
-soiled cloth, cooking, surgery, water, blood, food 2. Vector-borne transmission= a vector is an animal or flying or crawling insects that serves as an immediate means of transporting the infectious agent. -rat, cockroach |
|
C. Airborne Transmission
|
may involve droplet or dust
-Droplet nuclei= the residue of evaporated droplets emitted by an infected host such as someone with tuberculosis, can remain in air for a long period of time. -Dust particles containing the infectious agent like Clostridium difficile spores from the soil. |
|
5. portal of entry of susceptible host
|
Before a person can become infected, microorg.s must enter the body
-the skin is a barrier to infectious agents: break in skin can serve as a portal of entry |
|
6. susceptible host
|
any person who is at risk for infection.
- compromised host= a person at increased risk, an individual who for one or more reasons is more likely than others to acquire the infection (impairment of the body's natural defenses) |
|
epidemiological triad
|
The triad consists of an external agent, a host and an environment in which host and agent are brought together, causing the disease to occur in the host. A vector, an organism which transmits infection by conveying the pathogen from one host to another without causing disease itself, may be part of the infectious process
|
|
Standard Precautions [7] (CDC)
|
apply to (a) blood, (b) all body fluids, excretions, and secretions EXCEPT SWEAT (c) nonintact [broken] skin; and (d) mucous membranes
1. perform proper hand hygiene after contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and contaminated objects whether or not with gloves. -perform hand wash immediately after removing gloves/ use a NONANTIMICROBIAL product for routine hand hygiene/ use antimicrobial agent or antiseptic agent for the control of specific out breaks of infection 2. Wear clean gloves when touching same things for proper hand wash -clean gloves can be unsterile unless their use is intended to prevent the entrance of microorgs in the body/ remove gloves before touching noncontaminated objects or surfaces/ proper hand wash after removing 3. Wear Mask, eye protection, or face shield if splashes or sprays of blood, and all the other ones stated before 4. wear a clean, non sterile, water resistant gown in front of all previously recognized danger (blood, secretions etc); there to protect clothes -remove soiled gown carefully/ properly clean hands after 5. Handle contaminated equipment carefully -make sure reusable equipment is cleaned and reprocessed correctly / dispose of non reusable correctly 6. Handle all soiled linen carefully; DO NOT SHAKE IT, bundle it with clean side out and dirty side in, hold away from self so no contamination 7. Place needles and other "sharp" directly into puncture-resistant containers as soon as use is completed -Do not attempt to recap needle or place sharp back in their sheaths using two hands/ USE THE ONE HANDED SCOOP TECHNIQUE or other safety device |

|
1. Airborne Precautions
|
A. place client in an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR which has negative air flow of 6 to12 air changes per hour and either discharge of air to the outside or filtration system for the room air
B. if no private room available, you can out in a room with patient with the same infection or contamination C. wear N95 respirator or respirator device when entering room with a patient known or expected primary tuberculousis D. susceptible people should not enter the room of a client w/ rubeola (measles) or varicella (chickenpox) [if they must enter they must wear respirator mask] E. limit movement of of client outside the room; if patient moves outside must wear surgical mask |
|
2. Droplet Precautions
|
A. Place client in private room
B. if no private room, place patient in room with patient of same infection or contamination C. Wear mask if working within 1m (3ft) of the client D. limit movement outside room with that patient, if moved patient must wear surgical mask |
|
Contact Precautions [6] (CDC)
|
1. Place patient in private room
2. If no private room available, place patient in room with client of same infection 3. Wear gloves -change gloves after contact with contaminated material -remove gloves BEFORE leaving client's room (use antimicrobial agent. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL BASED AGENT WITH C. Difficle due to their spores, just use soap and water) -after proper hand wash do not touch contaminated areas and objects. 4. Wear gown when entering that patient's room whether the patient is infected, incontinent (uncontrolled) , has diarrhea, a colostomy, or wound drainage not contained by dressing -remove gown in client's room -make sure uniform does not touch contminate surfaces 5. Limit client's movement outside room 6. Dedicate the use of noncritical client care equipment to a single use client or to clients with same infecting microorganisms. |

SKILLS handwashing
|
soon
|
|
SKILLS S setting up and maintaining a sterile field
|
Open: ( package must be clean and dry (inside and out or considered contaminated ))
1.Introduce self, what why you're here, how the patient can help and the goal 2. hand hygiene 3. provide client privacy 4. open package 1. place so that the top flap of wrapper opens away from you 2. reaching around the package pinch the first flap on the outside between the thumb and index finger (staying on the outside maintains sterility). Pull the flap open laying it flat on the far surface. 3. repeat for side flaps, use right hand for right side and left hand for left (avoid reaching over sterile contents) soon |
|
SKILLS donning sterile gloves
|
purpose: (1) they protect the hands when the nurse is likely to handle any body substances (2) reduce the likelihood of transmitting their own microog.s to clients. (3) reduce chance that nurse will will contaminate another patient from another patient or contaminated object.
APPLICATION: hands come last in applying Personal protective equipment. -no special technique, if wearing a gown, pull the gloves up to cover the cuffs of the gown; if not wearing gown pull gloves to cover the wrists REMOVAL OF PPE: Gloves are removed first (it's the most soiled). IF WEARING GOWN, undo ties at waist Before taking of the gloves 1. remove first glove by grasping it on its palmar surface, taking care to touch only glove to glove. (keeps the soiled parts from touching the skin pull the first glove off by INVERTING or ROlling the glove inside out. 3. hold inverted glove with other hand and use two finger to remove the other glove in an inside out manner (reduce chance of direct transmission and self contamination) 4. perform hand hygiene |
|
SKILLS applying sterile dressing
|
PURPOSE: protects clothes from contamination
-clean or disposable water resistant gown or plastic aprons when possibility to become soiled. -sterile gown is worn when addressing a wound. APPLICATION: 1. before gown application, perform hand hygiene 2. pick up clean gown and let unfold in front of you without it touching any soiled areas. 2. slides arms and hands through sleeves 3. fasten ties around back 4. overlap gown at the back ( secures uniform from moving off clothes or falling away so there is no inadvertent soiling of the uniform ) REMOVAL: remove after glove and eye wear removal 1. avoid touching soiled parts on the outside of the gown 2.grasp gown along the inside of the of the neck and pull down over the shoulders (DO NOT SHAKE). 3. roll up gown with soiled part inside and discard appropriately before leaving the room |
|
