A clinical condition where infectious agents spread throughout the body from a localized infection site, leading to organ damage

• Bacteremia
• Sepsis
• Autoimmunity
• Allergy

A condition in which an individual and their surrounding environment are free of microorganisms is referred to as

• Antisepsis
• Sterilization
• Asepsis
• Disinfection

The reduction of disease-causing agents and their spread is referred to as:

• Sterilization
• Medical Asepsis
• Disinfection
• Surgical Asepsis

The complete eradication of

disease-causing agents and their spores from an object.

• Antisepsis
• Disinfection
• Medical Asepsis
• Surgical Asepsis

The growth of microorganisms in the body

• Disease
• Infection
• Contamination
• Colonization

A disease in which pathogens invade a susceptible host and carry out at least part

of their life cycle in that host

• Communicable disease
• Contagious disease
• Zoonotic disease
• Infectious disease

The cycle of infection is a chain with six links

• Infection Process
• Transmission cycle
• Disease progression
• Pathogen lifecycle

A living organism that causes an infectious disease.

• Reservoir
• Infectious agent
• Portal of entry
• Portal of exit

Any natural habitat of a microorganism that promotes growth and reproduction

• Reservoir
• Infectious agent
• Portal of entry
• Portal of exit

Point of escape from the reservoir

• Reservoir
• Infectious agent
• Portal of entry
• Portal of exit

Process by which a pathogen spreads from one

host to another

• Mode of transmission
• Infectious agent
• Portal of entry
• Portal of exit

Microorganism must find a way to enter the susceptible host

• Mode of transmission
• Infectious agent
• Portal of entry
• Portal of exit

Microorganism must accept the host for it to continue to live and flourish

• Mode of transmission
• Susceptible host
• Portal of entry
• Portal of exit

Are techniques used to minimize contamination

• Disinfection procedures
• Sterilization methods
• Aseptic Techniques
• Sanitization practices

Most basic and universally accepted measure used to prevent the spread of infection

• Wearing gloves
• Using disinfectants
• Isolating patients
• Hand Washing

Specialized equipment and attire used in healthcare facilities to protect the health worker and the patient and his visitors against infection

Offer protection when handling body secretions or open wounds.

Which of the following is considered the best way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases?

• Vaccination campaigns
• Health education
• Antibiotic distribution
• Vector control

Which of the following describes an illness that develops during a patient's stay in a health-care facility but was not present when they were admitted?

• Community-acquired infection
• Latent infection
• Healthcare-associated infection
• Opportunistic infection

Used to minimize spread of microbes to protect patients/ residents, staff, & visitors fromcontact

with pathogens

• Universal precaution
• Isolation procedures
• Sterilization protocols
• Disinfection guidelines

Are fundamental, minimum measures that are applied to every person, to avoid pathogen transmission from one person to another for all levels of health care, regardless of whether a patient's infection status is confirmed, suspected, or unknown

• Transmission-based precautions
• Expanded precautions
• Isolation protocols
• Standard precautions

Standard precautions are: Choose which applies

• Optional for staff
• Hand hygiene
• PPE
• Unneeded if patient looks healthy
• Respiratory hygiene
• Cough etiquette
• Only in hospitals
• Disinfection of patient-care equipment/instruments
• Safe injection practices
• Patient placement
• Stricter than other precautions
• Safe resuscitation
• Lumbar puncture

Are procedures to component standard precautions in individuals with known or suspected infections that are highly

transmissible or epidemiologically important pathogen

• Standard precautions
• Contact precautions
• Droplet precautions
• Transmission-based precautions

Three categories of transmission-based precautions.

• Contact
• Universal Precautions
• Standard Precautions
• Droplet
• Reverse Isolation
• Airborne
• Protective Isolation

Used for patients that have infections that can be spread by contact with the patients’ feces, urine or other body fluids, skin, vomit, or wounds or by equipment or environmental surfaces contaminated by the patient

• Droplet precautions
• Airborne precautions
• Contact precautions
• Reverse isolation

For patients with infections that can be spread through closecontact with droplet nuclei from respiratory secretions that spread only short distances.

• Airborne precautions
• Droplet precautions
• Contact precautions
• Protective isolation

Which of the following describes precautions used for patients with infections that can spread through droplet nuclei over long distances?

• Contact precautions
• Droplet precautions
• Reverse isolation
• Airborne precautions

What type of transmission-based precaution should be instituted to the ff?

(Make an advance search.)

Is a set of specific practices and procedures performed to make equipment andareasfree from all microorganisms and to maintain that sterility

• Disinfection
• Sterile technique
• Medical asepsis
• Surgical asepsis

is the process of separating an individual with an infectious disease fromrest of healthypopulation to prevent spread of infection to other individual.

• Quarantine
• Isolation
• Medical asepsis
• Surgical asepsis

Which of the following describes a single-patient room equipped with special air handling and ventilation systems under negative pressure?

• Operating Room
• Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
• Airborne Infection Isolation Room (AIIR)
