    • 4.Assit the patient to sit up in bed
    • 5.Place one hand under the patients farthest knee, and slowly rotate the patient so legs are off the bed

    • 7. engourage the patient to breathe easly
    • 8.Walk with patient

    C.Apply spread of different baceria
  6. Which 3 elements must be present for transmission of infections?

  11. What is the most common route of transmission?

    A. Contact
  12. Direct Contact
    Occurs when a pathogen is transferred directly from one person to another

  20. What are Standard Precautions?
    Recognition that all blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions with exception of sweat contain transmissible infectious agents
  21. What is the importance of hand hygiene?
    To ruduce the transmission of infectious agents  very essential element of standard precautions
  22. How long shouls you wash your hands with soap & water?

    • 5.Separation of person with respiratory infections
  24. Air quality for patients with hematologic stem cell transplants is improved through?
    • hepa Filtrations
    • directed room airflow
    • positive room air pressure
    • well-sealed rooms to prevent infiltration

    • strategies to reduce dust
    • prohibition of dried and fresh flowers
  25. What is cohorting?
    Grouping patients with the same infections together to confine care geographically and prevent transmission to other patients
  26. Disinfection
    process that destroys all pathogenic organisms on an inanimate ojject expect bacterial spores
  27. Sterilization
    destroys all microorganisms on the surface of an article or in a fluid which prevents transmission of pathogens
  28. What is Eto and what is it good for?
    Colorless. toxic gas and potent sterilzing agent

    Good for items that cannot be autoclaved

    Chronic exposure is associated wirh respiratory infections
  29. Contact with patients ventilator is considered contact with the patients body

    true or false
  30. What efficiency rate do HEPA filters have?
  31. Contaminated items whether reusable or diposable do not need to be enclosed in an impervious bag before removal from patients room

    True or False
  32. Surveillance
    Is one of the 5 key recommended components of an infection prevention program; others are investigation,prevention, control and reporting
  33. voltage
    the power potential behind the eletrical engery
  34. Electrical Safety
    Moves from point A to B owing to differences in voltage
  35. Why can the same voltage damage some people or objects  and some are not even effected?
  36. Current
    the flow of electricity from a point of higher voltage to one of lower voltage
  37. Current is messured in?
  38. Resistance is messured in?
  39. What is the greater danger when electrical shorts occur?

    Current is what is the greater danger
  40. What do currents depend on?
    • Amount of current flowing
    • Path it takes
    • Duration the current is applied
