methods of isolating body substances

Anti-infective drugs include what 3 types of drugs?

infections acquired in the course of medical care

nosocomial infection that results from a particular treatment or therapeutic procedure

a person who enters a health care facility with an infection

called the microorganisms everyone has in their body at all times

infections that are caused by microorganisms that are not normal flora

when a person acquires an infection in the health care setting as a result of an overgrowth of normal flora

The _________ and the _________ are common sites of nosocomial infections

4 Factors that encourage Nosocomial Infections:

8 Factors that increase the potential for Nosocomial Infection (AHNSIPHI)

6 Factors Nosocomial infections are caused by: BFPVEE

the result of the ALTERATION IN THE NUMBER OF FLORA present in the body or result of treatment with a BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIMICROBIAL DRUG

often the result of long-term use of vascular access devices (VADs) and retention urinary catheters. Infectious diseases are caused by both eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms

4 Microorganisms/Pathogens known to produce diseases are: BFVP

Areas of the human body that are considered sterile: (BBBHV)

colorless, minute, one-celled organisms with a typical nucleus.

___ carries the inherited characteristics of a cell, and ___ constructs cell protein in response to the direction of ___.

are able to form a highly resistant structure called an _______.

Bacteria that survive only in an oxygen environment and are called?

Others that are unable to live in the presence of oxygen and are called?

eukaryotic microbes and require an aerobic environment to live and reproduce

one-celled forms of fungi that reproduce by budding

form multicellular colonies and reproduce by spore formation

diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms, one-celled or multicellular without specialized tissues, and can live in most environments as long as water is available.

more complex one-celled microorganisms. They are often parasitic and are able to move from place to place by pseudopod formation, by the action of flagella, or by cilia.

can be simply described as parasitic worms classified as either (flatworms) or (roundworms).

minute microorganisms that cannot be visualized under an ordinary microscope. They are the smallest microorganisms known to produce disease in humans.

complete infectious particle with a central nucleoid

The genetic material is protected by a capsid or protein coat that is composed of minute protein units called

called the when viruses destroy the cell by the rapid release of new viruses.

3 Examples of Infectious Diseases

4 Characteristics of Infectious agents vary in their ability to cause disease: PVIS

refers to the causative organism’s ability to cause disease.

refers to the causative organism’s ability to grow and multiply with speed.

term used to describe the organism’s ability to enter tissues.

characterizes the organism’s attraction to a particular host

A person who transmits disease-causing organisms but has no apparent signs or symptoms of that disease

made from living microbes, rendered less pathogenic

people who are at great risk for acquiring infections.

7 METHODS OF ACQUIRING IMMUNITY AAPNNAA

METHODS OF ACQUIRING IMMUNITY _______ _______ (active production of antibodies) ______ _____ _____ (person’s body) ______ ______ ______ (received from another person) _______ _______ _______ (mother’s blood) _____ _____ ______ _______ (particular disease) _______ ______ ______ _______ (vaccination) _______ ______ ______ _______ (immune to susceptible individual)

_______ function as antigens and produce diseases called _______ diseases.

4 Process of Infection

______ Stage: (dormant) ______ Stage: (symptoms exhibited) ____ _____ Stage: full extent, subclinical symptoms __________ Stage: (symptoms diminish)

A person whose body does not adequately defend itself against disease

diseases that result from alterations in a person’s genetic makeup and are inherited from his or her parents or grandparents.

If Exposure to blood or body fluids is possible, wear 6 samples of PPE like:

term used to describe the removal, by mechanical and chemical processes, of pathogenic microorganisms,

Two types of contact spread of infection

inflammation of the cells of the liver that is initially acute

disease most commonly affects the lungs, but is capable of infecting any part of the body.

part of the normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract; however, it is capable of causing disease when it affects blood, urine, or wounds

______ is the result of bacteria in the bloodstream. _______ is the result of fungi in the bloodstream.

means that microorganisms and their spores have been completely destroyed by means of heat

must not be worn in the workplace. They often harbor infectious microorganisms

______ must be scrubbed for __ minutes with an antibacterial soap before working with all infants.

The radiographer must never enter a ______ if he or she has, or is suspected of having, an infection of any type.
