17. Contact Precautions
Contact precautions are used for patients with diseases that are spread through direct and indirect contact.
Precautions:
Isolation room
Gowns and gloves
Equipment precautions
Examples of diseases:
MRSA
VRE
Contact Precautions
Some communicable diseases can be spread through direct contact and indirect contact. Two examples are MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococcus). These two infections are highly contagious and very dangerous. Therefore, special precautions must be applied to patients with these diseases.
Patients who require contact precautions must be placed in an isolation room. Health care workers who treat these patients must put on gowns and gloves before entering the room. After the procedure, protective equipment must be removed and discarded carefully to avoid transmitting the disease. Whenever possible, the medical equipment used on these patients should be disposable or used only with the infected patient. If equipment must be used for additional patients, it must be disinfected and sterilized first.

18. Droplet Precautions
Droplet precautions are used for patients with diseases that are spread through large airborne droplets.
Precautions:
Isolation room
Standard surgical masks
Examples of diseases:
Pneumonia
Influenza
Whooping cough
Droplet Precautions
For some types of communicable diseases, droplets that are released when a patient sneezes or coughs are large and do not stay in the air for a long period of time. Droplet precautions are required for these diseases. Diseases that require droplet precautions include pneumonia, influenza, and whooping cough.
Patients with these diseases must be placed into an isolation room, but negative air pressure is not needed. Health care workers who enter these rooms must wear standard surgical masks. However, respiratory filters are not required.

19. Airborne Precautions
Airborne precautions are used for patients with disease that are spread through tiny airborne droplets.
Precautions:
Isolation room
Respiratory protection
Negative pressure
Examples of diseases:
Tuberculosis
Chicken pox
Measles
Airborne Precautions
Some communicable diseases are spread by tiny airborne droplets. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets are released into the air. Because the droplets are so small, they can remain in the air for a long time and cause infection in people who inhale the droplets. Diseases that require airborne precautions include tuberculosis and chicken pox.
Patients who are diagnosed with this type of communicable disease must be treated with special care. First, they should be placed into a private room. This practice is called isolation. Second, health care workers who enter the private room must wear special respiratory protection, such as a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA mask). Finally, the room must be kept at negative pressure with the door closed. Negative pressure will keep droplets from being drawn into other rooms.

20. Cleaning Methods Sterilization Video
First and foremost, ALWAYS wash your hands! (Especially after going into a bathroom.)
When cleaning equipment, supplies, beds, etc., the most economical disinfectant is 10% solution of bleach. (10:1 water to bleach)
Sterilization occurs when all living forms of any kind are killed or eliminated.
Disinfection occurs when pathogens are destroyed, but all living forms have not been destroyed.

21. Biohazard Equipment Sharps Containers
Anytime you see this symbol or the word “BIOHAZARD” it means the contents are hazardous to your health.
Most sharps/biohazard containers are RED

22. CPR/AED CPR/AED Refresher Video
When giving CPR, your compression to breath ratio is 30:2.
Your pace should be roughly 100 compressions in 1 minute, or 5 cycles in 2 minutes
AED stands for Automated (NOT Automatic) External Defibrillator
Pads should be placed in the upper right and lower left portions of the chest.
Know where the AED is located in your school!

With all patients, regardless of sickness
2. When should health care workers wash their hands?
Only when they are visibly dirty
Every 20 minutes
Before providing care and between patients
At the beginning of the work day
3. How is a used sharp disposed of?
Wrap the sharp in gauze and place in a biohazardous waste container.
Drop the entire sharp into a sharps container.
Recap or break any needles and drop into a sharps container.
Rinse the sharp under running water and place in the biohazardous waste container

26. Medical Asepsis
Method of performing procedures and providing patient care so that pathogenic organisms are not transmitted from ill patient to anyone else
As few microorganisms present as possible
Destruction of pathogenic organisms after they leave the body
Easiest way? Follow standard precautions
Consider specimens to be contaminated
Medical aseptic technique is a method of performing procedures and providing patient care so that pathogenic organisms are not transmitted from the ill patient to other patients or anyone else.

27. Handwashing
Sanitization
Disinfection
3 Ways we Keep Asepsis

28. Single most effective way to prevent the spread of disease
Soap and warm water, rub vigorously 15 seconds
Antiseptic hand wash, cover all surfaces of hands, and air dry
Hand washing is the single most effective thing we can do to prevent the spread of pathogens and disease. Simple hand washing can be done with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers must contain 60% to 90% alcohol for effectiveness.
Hand Washing

29. Typical Times to Wash Hands
Beginning work
Before and after rooming patients
Before and after cleaning exam rooms
Before and after assisting the physician with procedures
Before and after cleaning equipment
Before and after using the restroom
Before and after taking a break or eating lunch
At the end of the day
Hand washing should be done many times throughout your day. These are examples of when to wash your hands.
Typical Times to Wash Hands

30. Sanitization
the process whereby pathogenic organisms are reduced to safe levels on inanimate objects, thereby reducing the likelihood of cross-infection.

31. Sanitization of Equipment
Inactivating or removing microorganisms on reusable equipment and surfaces to a safe level
Chemicals, heat, and gas are used
Low-suds detergents are commonly used
Read labels, follow manufacturer’s directions, rinse all instruments, and protect yourself
The medical assistant should wear utility gloves or heavy-duty gloves when sanitizing equipment. The medical assistant should also wear other appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a gown and goggles.
Sanitization of Equipment

32. Process in which most or nearly all microorganisms (whether or not pathogenic) on clothing, hard surfaces, and/or wounds are killed through the use of chemicals, heat, or ultraviolet rays.
Destruction of pathogenic microorganisms or their  toxins or vectors by direct exposure  to chemical or physical agents.
Disinfection

33. Disinfection More thorough than sanitization
Kills bacteria and most microorganisms but not spores
Use different disinfectants for surfaces and equipment vs. skin surfaces
Read labels and follow manufacturer’s directions
Iodine, household bleach, and 70% alcohol
Disinfection typically involves the application of a substance to equipment, surfaces, or other items to kill pathogenic microorganisms. Disinfection can be done to countertops and trays, some types of furniture, and even the skin.
Disinfection

34. Sterilization or Surgical Asepsis
The process of destroying ALL microorganisms and their pathogenic product It can be accomplished by various methods, including heat, gas plasma, irradiation, or a bactericidal chemical compound.
Sterilization or Surgical Asepsis

35. Sterile technique, also called surgical asepsis, is maintaining an area that is free from all microorganisms.
Sterile technique must be practiced for all invasive procedures to protect patients from infection.
To maintain a sterile area, only sterile items may touch other sterile items.
Surgical Asepsis
