Learning Objectives 1. Define the terms: After completion of this unit, the student should be able to: 1. Define the terms: Nosocomial Infection Biohazard Pathogen 2. Describe the process of proper handwashing. 3. Describe the chain of infection and explain how it relates to infection control 4. Explain the various types of isolation. 4/24/2017

Definitions Pathogen Nosocomial Infection Aseptic an organism which causes disease Nosocomial Infection an infection acquired in a health care setting Aseptic without germs, practices which decrease the number of germs present 4/24/2017
