Health Occ Chp. 3 & 4

Focused Examination Heart Attack Stroke Arterial Bleeding Venous Bleeding Capillary Bleeding Shock Surgical Asepsis Body Mechanics Pathogens Antiseptics Disinfection Sterilization First Aid Initial Assessment

Focused Examination - Comes right after the initial assessment, check the client’s head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, legs, arms and portions of the back. Heart Attack - When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen- rich blood and nutrients. Stroke - When the brain is deprived of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients. Arterial Bleeding - Most serious spurting, least likely to clot. Venous Bleeding - Flows steadily or even gushes, easier to control. Capillary Bleeding - Most common type of bleeding, oozes when injured, bright red. Shock - Occurs when to little oxygen and nutrients reach the body’s cells, tissue, and organs.

Surgical Asepsis - Also called sterile technique, the maintenance of a sterile field or environment. Body Mechanics - Positions and movements used to maintain proper posture and avoid muscle and bone injuries. Pathogens - Microorganisms that invade the body. Antiseptics - Solutions that are applied directly to the skin to prevent the growth of pathogens. Disinfection - Uses strong chemicals to kill many pathogens on instruments. Sterilization - Comes right after the initial assessment, check the client’s head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, legs, arms and portions of the back. First Aid - The initial help and care given to a sick or injured person. Initial Assessment - Consists of evaluating the client’s responsiveness.

Comes right after the initial assessment, check the client’s head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, legs, arms and portions of the back.

Positions and movements used to maintain proper posture and avoid muscle and bone injuries.

When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients.

Microorganisms that invade the body.

When the brain is deprived of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients.

Solutions that are applied directly to the skin to prevent the growth of pathogens.

Most serious spurting, least likely to clot.

Uses strong chemicals to kill many pathogens on instruments.

Best way to kill all microbes and their spores using an autoclave which uses steam and pressure.

Most common type of bleeding, oozes when injured, bright red.

The initial help and care given to a sick or injured person.
