21
Communicable Disease: Caused by microbes that spread easily and the disease can be transmitted from on host to another
Disinfection: Process of destroying pathogens. Spores are not destroyed
Cleaning: Reduces the number of microbes present and removes organic matter
Contamination: the process of becoming unclean
Sterilization: the process of destroying all microbes
Sterile: absence of all microbes
Surgical Asepsis: sterile technique
Medical Asepsis: clean technique
Asepsis: the practice of eliminating or reducing potential pathogens
Nosocomial Infection: An infection that develops in a client cared for in any setting where health care is given
Systemic infection: infection that involves the whole body
Local infections: infection that involves a body part
Multi Drug Resistant Organisms:Microbes that can resist the effects of antibiotics
Normal Flora: Microbes that live and grow in a certain area
Parasites: organisms that derive nourishment and protection from other living organisms, known as hosts
Fungi: microbes that live on organic matter, such as plants or animals
Viruses: invade living cells in order to grow and multiply
Bacteria: one celled microbes
Non Pathogens: non harmful microbes
Pathogens: harmful microbes
Microbe: small living plant or animal seen only with a microscope
Infection Control: practices and procedures that protect clients, residents, visitors, and staff from infection
