| _________ is a disease state that results from the presence of pathogens in or on the body. | Infection |
| __________ are the most significant and most commonly observed infection-causing agents in healthcare institutions. | Bacteria |
| Most bacteria require oxygen to live and grow and are therefore referred to as________. | Aerobic |
| Athletes foot, ring worm, and yeast infections are caused by_____. | Fungi |
| Microorganisms that commonly inhabit various body sites and are part of the body's natural defense system are referred to as_________. | Normal Flora |
| The natural habitats of organisms such as humans, animals, soil, and food are examples of_____________. | Reservoirs |
| The ___________ is the point at which organisms enter a new host. | Portal of Entry |
| The body commonly responds to an antigen by producing an __________. | Antibody |
| A __________-_________ ___________ is an infection not present on admission that certain patients in health agencies develop during the course of treatment for other conditions. | Healthcare-associated Infection/Nosocomial |
| An infection that occurs as a result of treatment or diagnostic procedure | Iatrogenic |
| An infection win which the causative organism is normally harbored within the patient. | Endogenous |
| An infection caused by an organism acquired from other persons | Exogenous |
| the most effective way to decrease the spread of infection is? | Hand washing |
| A nurse wipes off a patients side table is called___________. | Medical Asepsis Practice |
| A nurse wearing gloves when emptying a catheter is an example of ___________. | Standard precautions |
| Infectious Agents are______,________,________,________ | bacteria, virus, protozoa, fungi |
| Exit and entry portals | skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal tracts |
| The guidelines for minimum protection standards for infection prevention and control were initially developed by? | CDC |
| an organisms ability to cause disease is_______. | Virulence |
| Communicable disease | Contagious Disease |
| Pathogen | disease producing microorganisms |
| Means of transmission | direct contact, indirect contact, airborne route |
| Anaerobic | does not need oxygen |
| Lab Data that Indicates Infection | Elevated WBC,Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate,Presence of pathogen in urine, blood, sputum, or draining cultures |
| Reservoir | where microorganisms survive, multiply and wait for transfer to a host. Examples. humans, animals, soil, food, water, milk, inanimate objects |
| Ideal Reservoir | Warm, dark, moist environment |
| Portal of exit | Route by which infectious agent leaves the reservoir and is transferred to susceptible host. Examples are respiratory(sputum, saliva), gastrointestinal( feces), Genitourinary (Urine),breaks in skin(wounds), blood and tissue |
| Means of Transmission | How microorganism travels from reservoir to "new host".Examples are contact-direct physical transfer(STD), airborne-dust particles, droplet nuclei, vehicle-contaminated inanimate objects, vector borne-animal or insects |
| Portal of Entry | Route of entry into "new host" Examples are integumentary system (skin), Respiratory tract-inhale into nose throat, gastrointestinal tract- fecal or oral route(unsanitary water), circulatory system- finger sticks/Iv's and catheters, placental |
