Answer

🗑
show Required healthcare workers to follow specific practices such as wearing gowns and protective apparel under specified circumstances to reduce the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens.  
🗑
OSHA - Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act:   show
🗑
OSHA - Exposure Control Plans:   show
🗑
show Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.  
🗑
OSHA - Infectious Waste Definition:   show
🗑
show Liquid or semi liquid blood or infectious materials, Contaminated items that would release infectious materials, Items that are caked with dried blood or potentially infectious materials, Contaminated sharps, Pathological and microbial wastes.  
🗑
show Infectious waste must be handled separately from usual trash and treated prior to final disposal.  
🗑
OSHA - Hand Hygiene:   show
🗑
OSHA - Proper Hand Hygiene Technique for alcohol-based hand rub:   show
🗑
show Wet hands first, apply product to the hands and rub together for at least 15 s. Rinse, dry thoroughly with a disposable towel. Use the towel to turn off the faucet. Avoid using hot water because repeated exposure may increase dermatitis.  
🗑
show Must be provided and when not feasible, the employer must provide either an appropriate antiseptic hand cleanser in conjunction with clean cloth/paper towels or antiseptic towelettes.  
🗑
show Recommends not be to be worn by those who have contact with high-risk patients (e.g., pts in ICUs, ORs) due to confirmed association with outbreaks of gram-negative bacillus and candidal infections. Settings have banned this for all healthcare personnel.  
🗑
show The removal of all visible dust, soil, and any other foreign material. Antiseptic soaps should not be used to clean inanimate objects. Gloves are recommended. Spot clean walls if splashes occur. Clean floors by wet mopping, wet or dry vacuuming.  
🗑
show Involves the destruction of many or all infectious organisms on inanimate objects.  
🗑
OSHA - The CDC recognizes four levels of disinfection:   show
🗑
show Required to destroy all microorganisms, including bacterial spores. This is necessary for critical items, which are those that enter tissue or vascular space (e.g., needles, implants, and surgical tools) or those through which blood flows.  
🗑
show Appropriate to inactivate the HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and mycobacterium tuberculosis. Used for semi-critical items that contact mucous membranes or non-intact skin, such as respiratory and anesthesia equipment, as well as endoscopes.  
🗑
show Inactivates M. tuberculosis, vegetative bacteria, most viruses and most fungi, but it does not necessarily kill bacterial spores. Appropriate for some semi-critical items such as hydrotherapy tanks and thermometers.  
🗑
show Can kill most bacteria, some viruses, and some fungi, but it cannot be relied on to kill resistant microorganisms. Used for noncritical items that have contact with intact skin, which serves as a barrier to most microorganisms.  
🗑
OSHA - Selection of Disinfectants:   show
🗑
show In order for disinfection to be effective, you need to closely follow product or procedure recommendations for proper use. Ex: Some products require wet contact for a certain period of time to achieve the desired level of disinfection.  
🗑
OSHA - Determining Appropriate Disinfectant:   show
🗑
OSHA - Disinfectant Exposure:   show
🗑
OSHA - Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl)/Bleach:   show
🗑
show A strong oxidizer that discolors and corrodes metals (especially copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, chrome,and silver). Do not soak contaminated sharps in sodium hypochlorite or other disinfectants before disposal or reprocessing.  
🗑
OSHA - Gloves and Protective Barriers:   show
🗑
show Single use, disposable items whenever possible. If reusable, reprocess only if the cost is less than to replace. Manufacturers state in catalogs and on package inserts: "Sterilization of multiple-use products is the sole responsibility of the user."  
🗑
OSHA - Needle Electrode Recapping:   show
🗑
OSHA - Needle Electrodes:   show
🗑
show Skin preparation agents, collodion, and electrolyte paste and gels are usually sold in multi-dose containers. To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, small amt should go into single use container.  
🗑
OSHA - Syringe:   show
🗑
OSHA - Surface Electrodes:   show
🗑
OSHA - Marking Pencils, Tape Measures, Electrode Wires, Toys, Pulse Oximeter Probes, etc.:   show
🗑
OSHA - Environment:   show
🗑
OSHA - Blood and Body Fluid Spills:   show
🗑
show Acetone is not a cleaning or disinfecting agent. Sufficient quantities of frequently used equipment should be available to allow appropriate time for disinfecting b/t uses. Classify items as critical, semi-critical, or non-critical.  
🗑
OSHA - Critical EEG Items:   show
🗑
OSHA - Semi-Critical Items:   show
🗑
OSHA - Noncritical Items:   show
🗑
show Maintain a relatively sterile environment and follow policies and procedures that reduce the spread of infection to patients.  
🗑
show Newborn infants are at increased risk for development of infection, and premature, low-birth weight infants are at greatest risk. EEG personnel must follow policies and procedures to reduce the spread of infection when recording in this unit.  
🗑
show If in-patient, nursing should be alerted. Care should be taken to carefully clean all electrodes of END equipment as not to spread insects. If the patient is an outpatient, establish a policy to cancel the appt and reschedule after eliminated.  
🗑
OSHA - CJD:   show
🗑
show This prion is resistant to sterilization and disinfection by most of the physical and chemical methods in common use. Single use, disposable invasive items are strongly recommended. When reusable must be used, strictest form of decontamination tolerated.  
🗑
show The Microbial Safety Index. Used to identify the probability that an item is contaminated.  
🗑
OSHA - Sterilization Definition:   show
🗑
OSHA - Spaulding Definition:   show
🗑
OSHA - Formite Definition:   show
🗑
show Temporary precautions.  
🗑
show Eliminates nearly all recognized pathogenic micro-organisms, but not necessarily all microbial life (eg bacterial spores) on inanimate objects.  
🗑
OSHA - Decontamination Definition:   show
🗑
show The degree of pathogenicity of a micro-organism. IE: The competence of a micro-organism to produce pathologic effects.  
🗑
show The irreversible loss of the ability to propagate.  
🗑
show Disinfection that uses hot water at temperatures below 100 degrees centigrade. It consists of washing, rinsing, and filtered drying. Not sporicidal.  
🗑
OSHA - Sanitation Definition:   show
🗑
show A reproductive cell that usually possesses a thick wall enabling it to withstand unfavorable environmental conditions. Requires prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Sterilization or Sporicide are only decontamination methods that will destroy this.  
🗑
show Completely destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life including bacteria, viruses, spores, and fungi. Necessary when item is penetrating or entering sterile tissue. Achieved by EPA registered sporicide, steam, ethylene oxide, dry heat.  
🗑
