Chapter 11: Infection Control

WORD CHOICE

1. single2. virus3. liver4. gloves5. prevent the spread of infection

SHORT ANSWER

1. The infection cycle begins with the pathogen, the microorganism that causes disease. The second link is the reservoir host, the person in whom the pathogen resides. The third link is the portal of exit, or the way the pathogen leaves the reservoir host, such as saliva, blood, or other secretions. The fourth link is the route of transmission, or how the pathogen gets from the reservoir host to the new host, for example, by direct contact, air, or insects. The fifth link is the portal of entry, or how the pathogen enters the new host; usual portals are the skin, or the GI, urinary, or reproductive tracts. The sixth and final link is a susceptible host, a person whose body supports the pathogen’s life and reproduction by not having enough resistance.

2. Answer includes any three of the following: never recap, bend, or manually remove a dirty needle; always deposit used needles in a sharps container; immediately clean any needle stick wound with alcohol and Betadine, then cover the wound (and report the injury); and always point needles toward the floor, never toward you or anyone else.

3. Answers can include: urine, sputum, fecal material, wound drainage, semen, vaginal secretions, tissues, synovial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, pericardial fluid, amniotic fluid.

Chapter 12: Vital Sings Assessment

SHORT ANSWER

1. Homeostasis is the state of equilibrium within the body, maintained by adaptation of body systems to changes in the internal or external environment.

2. Vital signs are important in assessing the functions essential to life: pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature.

3. Tachycardia is a heart rate of more than 100 bpm, and bradycardia is a heart rate of less than 60 bpm (except for highly conditioned athletes).

4. Normal pulse rate is 60-100 bpm; tachycardia pulse rate is higher than 100 bpm; bardycardia pulse rate is less than 60 bpm; trained athlete pulse rate is 50-60 bpm.

5. Locations the pulse can be felt (any five of the eight are correct): radial pulse: near the radius of one of the bones in the wrist carotid pulse: on the carotid artery in the neck apical pulse: at the apex of the heart temporal artery: on the face in front of the ear brachial artery: inside of the arm at the crease near the elbow femoral artery: right or left groin popliteal artery: behind the knee dorsalis pedis: top of the foot

6. The two temperature scales are Fahrenheit and Celsius.

7. The risks associated with excess weight or fat include: increased risk of cardiovascular disease decreased life expectancy impeded circulation in the legs increased risk of diabetes increased stress on the muscles and joints
