risk reduction


communication

4 factors that increase risk for disease

**Amount of bad stuff


**Susceptible host


**Survival after agent



Cleaning

physical removement of contaminant

Disenfecting

Chem, UV, heat

Sterilization

Boiling water, chemicals

Resevoir

area where pathogens grow and multiple


dark, right temperature, right pH, aerobic or aneorobic

Carrier

bringing pothogen around w/out displaying symptoms, not sick themselves



Modes of transmitions

Direct = host + person


Indirect = contaminated object


Droplet = large but can't go far (cough/ sneezes) up to 1 metre


Airbourne = goes far, ex. TB, measels, chicken pox (need negative pressure, private rooms, closed doors etc) no cohorts**


Vector


Vehicle

Portals of entry + exit

and body openings (mouth, vagina, cuts)


3 categories of additional precautions

· Airborne– private room, door closed, negative pressure airflow, respiration device (eg.N95 respirator)· Droplet– private room/ cohort patients, door closed unless 2 m from door, mask wornwithin 2 m of patient· Contactprecautions – private room/ cohort, door can be open, glove/gown upon entry,limit patients’ movements outside of room, cleaning disinfecting, discardingitems

2.) skin - barrier, anti bacterial, shedding


3.) mouth - saliva, microbial inhibitors


4.) eye - tearing, blinking


5.) Respiratory tract - mucus, cilia, macrophages

o Serous(clear, watery plasma)


o Sanguineous(bloody drainage)
