Students will learn about the infection prevention regulations established by OSHA, the CDC, and their facility (if applicable). Students will learn about the chain of infection and the techniques needed to break the chain and protect residents, staff, and visitors from infection. Students will also learn why the elderly are at greater risk for infection and the specific infection prevention practices needed to protect them. Infection prevention guidelines by the CDC and OSHA, including Standard Precautions, Transmission- Based Precautions, and the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, should be discussed in depth. The instructor s emphasis on consistently and correctly practicing infection prevention will be the foundation for ensuring that students will follow these practices throughout their careers. The first procedures to be presented in the book are in this chapter. The instructor should demonstrate each procedure, emphasizing the importance of every step, and have students return the demonstration. Remind the students that they will be tested on these procedures before they are certified to work, and encourage them to practice them until they are comfortable and confident with them. This chapter also discusses the potential danger of bloodborne diseases to healthcare workers. Infection prevention will also be stressed as a method of preventing dangerous infections, including MRSA, VRE, and C. difficile, which are much easier to prevent than to cure.

Optional Activity Show students a copy of your facility s exposure control plan, if available. Make copies of exposure report forms and distribute to students. Have them practice filling out the form so they become familiar with it. 14. Discuss two important bloodborne diseases textbook pp workbook pp Discuss important information about HIV and AIDS: AIDS is caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV damages the immune system over time so that the body cannot fight infection. The stage of the disease when tumors and central nervous system symptoms appear is known as AIDS. People with AIDS can die from illnesses that a person with a healthy immune system could fight. HIV is transmitted by blood, infected needles, from mother to fetus, or sexual contact. Pronounce and define the following term: Hepatitis Review the different viruses that can cause hepatitis: Hepatitis A (HAV) Hepatitis B (HBV) Hepatitis C (HCV) Hepatitis D (HDV) Hepatitis E (HEV) Emphasize that HBV is a serious threat to healthcare workers. Review precautions to take to avoid being infected on the job: Use proper PPE. Handle needles and other sharps carefully. Dispose of sharps properly in biohazard container. A free HBV vaccine will be offered by the NA s employer. 15. Discuss MRSA, VRE, and C. Difficile textbook pp workbook p. 44 Multidrug-resistant organisms MRSA infection VRE Clostridium difficile (C. diff, C. difficile)
9 44 Review important information about MRSA: Often acquired in healthcare facilities Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is a type of MRSA infection that occurs in people who have not been in healthcare facilities and who have no past diagnosis of MRSA Spread by direct contact with infected person or indirect contact through contaminated objects Symptoms include drainage, fever, chills, and redness Handwashing is best way to control it Review important information about VRE: Very difficult to treat and may require several medications Spread through direct or indirect contact Symptoms include fever, fatigue, chills, and drainage Much easier to prevent than to get rid of Proper hand hygiene can help prevent the spread Discuss guidelines for caring for residents with MRSA or VRE: Help residents remain as active and social as possible. Assist residents to maintain good hygiene. Wash hands after contact with MRSA or VRE. After handwashing, discard paper towels immediately. Wear gloves when contact with body fluids may occur. Wash linen when soiled. Keep resident s room clean. Alert other caregivers to take proper precautions. Attend in-services about infection prevention. Review important information about C. difficile: May flourish in intestinal tract when normal flora is altered Enemas, nasogastric tube insertion, and GI tract surgery increase risk May cause colitis or sepsis Spread by spores in feces that are difficult to kill Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not effective; soap and water must be used for hand hygiene Symptoms include foul-smelling watery stools, fever, diarrhea that contains blood and mucus, nausea, lack of appetite, and abdominal cramps Report symptoms immediately Chapter Review Exam distribute chapter 6: exam (appendix c, pp ) Allow students enough time to finish the test. See Appendix D for answers to the chapter exams. Answers to Chapter Review in Textbook 1. Infection prevention is the set of methods used to control and prevent the spread of disease. 2. Infections are caused by pathogens, which are harmful microorganisms. For infections to develop, pathogens must invade and grow within the human body. 3. A localized infection is limited to a specific part of the body; a systemic infection occurs when pathogens enter the bloodstream and move throughout the body. 4. A communicable disease is an infectious disease that is transmitted by direct contact with the infected person or his secretions, or indirectly, by touching objects contaminated by the infected person. A non-communicable disease is a disease not capable of being spread from one person to another. 5. An object can be called clean if it has not been contaminated with pathogens. An object that is dirty has been contaminated with pathogens. 6. Disinfection means that only pathogens are destroyed; sterilization means all microorganisms are destroyed, including those that form spores. 7. Surgical asepsis makes an object or area sterile, or completely free of all microorganisms. 8. Answers include: Link 1: Causative agent vaccines; Link 2: Reservoir keeping surfaces clean and dry; Link 3: Portal of exit covering
10 45 the mouth when sneezing; Link 4: Mode of transmission handwashing; Link 5: Portal of entry wearing gloves; Link 6: Susceptible host staying healthy and protecting the elderly and ill from pathogens 9. Mucous membranes are the membranes that line body cavities that open to the outside of the body. 10. Answers include: Multiple changes of aging tend to make the elderly more susceptible to infections. Elderly people are hospitalized more often, which increases their chances of getting healthcare-associated infections and other infections. When the elderly get sick, recovery may take longer and the infections themselves may be more dangerous. Skin becomes thinner, which makes it easier to tear. When fragile skin tears, pathogens can enter the body. Both thinner skin and limited mobility increase the risk of pressure ulcers and skin infections. Bones become more brittle and can break more easily. Decreased circulation and slow wound healing also contribute to infections in the elderly. Catheters and other types of tubing can greatly increase the risk of infections. Older adults are at risk for dehydration and malnutrition. When cells do not get proper nutrients and fluids, the chance of infection greatly increases. 11. Tears, saliva, sputum, urine, feces, semen, vaginal secretions, pus or other wound drainage, and vomit 12. With every resident in your care 13. Gloves must be worn if you may come into contact with with blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions, broken or open skin, human tissue, or mucous membranes. 14. Hand hygiene is washing hands with either plain or antiseptic soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rubs. 15. Artificial nails harbor bacteria, even if you wash your hands often. 16. Answers include: when you first arrive at work; whenever they are visibly soiled; before, between, and after all contact with residents; before putting on gloves and after removing gloves; before and after touching meal trays and/or handling food; before and after feeding residents; before entering a clean supply room; before getting clean linen; before leaving a dirty supply room; before and after you eat; after contact with blood or any body fluids, mucous membranes, non-intact skin, or wound dressings; after handling contaminated items; after contact with any object, including medical equipment, in the resident s room; after touching garbage; after cleaning spills or picking up anything from the floor; after using the toilet; after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose; after smoking; after handling your hair or touching areas on your body, such as your nose, mouth, eyes, and face; after touching jewelry; after changing diapers; after handling animals/pets and after contact with pet care items; before leaving work and after you get home from work before touching anything or anyone 17. Answers include: when you may come into contact with blood or any body fluids, open wounds, or mucous membranes; when performing or helping with mouth care or care of any mucous membrane; when performing or helping with perineal care; when performing care on a resident who has non-intact skin; when you have any open sores or cuts on your hands; when shaving a resident; when disposing of soiled bed linens, gowns, dressings, and pads; when you will have direct contact with residents who require Contact Precautions; when touching surfaces or equipment or handling equipment that is either visibly contaminated or may be contaminated 18. Wear a gown if you may come into contact with blood, body fluids, secretions or excretions, tissue, or when splashing or spraying blood or body fluids is likely. 19. Masks should be worn when caring for residents who cough, sneeze or have respiratory illnesses. Goggles are used whenever blood or body fluids may be splashed or sprayed into your eye area or your eyes. 20. PPE should be applied in this order: gown, mask or respirator, goggles or face shield, gloves; PPE should be removed in this order: gloves, goggles or face shield, gown, mask or respirator.
11 Hold and carry dirty linen away from your uniform. 22. Do not use re-usable equipment again until it has been properly cleaned and reprocessed. 23. No 24. Airborne Precautions prevent the spread of pathogens that travel through the air for a distance after being expelled. Droplet Precautions are used for diseases that are spread by droplets in the air. Contact Precautions are used when a resident may spread an infection by direct contact with another person or object. 25. Answers include: Spend as much time with the resident as possible. Listen to the resident. Encourage him or her to talk about feelings and concerns. Reassure the resident that it is the disease, not the person, that is being isolated. Explain why these special steps are being taken. Apply proper PPE before entering the isolation room. Clean and disinfect all equipment properly. Follow facility policy on equipment that belongs to staff and does not stay in the room. Dispose of trash in proper containers. Dispose of waste containing blood or body fluids and sharps in biohazard containers. Bag used linen and equipment so that the contaminated items do not touch the outside of the bag. Disinfect all furniture and surfaces regularly. Assist visitors with putting on gowns and masks as needed. Before you leave the room, make sure the TV, telephone, and radio are in working order. Encourage reading material that can be disposed of, such as magazines and newspapers. Make sure the resident has access to eyeglasses, if needed. Always place the call light within the resident s reach when leaving the isolation room. 26. These pathogens are transmitted by infected blood entering the bloodstream, or if infected semen or vaginal secretions contact mucous membranes. Sharing infected drug needles is another way to spread bloodborne diseases. Infected pregnant women may transmit bloodborne diseases to their babies. In health care professions, contact with infections blood or body fluids is the most common way to get a bloodborne disease. Infections may be spread by accidental contact with contaminated blood or body fluids, skin, needles or other sharp objects, or contaminated supplies or equipment. 27. Answers include: Give in-service training on the risks from bloodborne pathogens and updates on any new safety standards. Have an exposure control plan that outlines what to do if an employee accidentally becomes exposed to any infectious waste. All employees must be trained on the exposure control plan and know where to find it. Give all employees, visitors, and residents proper PPE to wear when needed. Place biohazard containers in each resident s room and, in other areas in the facility. Biohazard bags must be sealed tightly before leaving the resident s room and then be taken to the proper area. Provide a free hepatitis B vaccine. 28. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver caused by certain viruses and other factors, such as alcohol abuse, some medications, and trauma. 29. HIV damages the immune system so that over time, the body cannot fight infections. 30. HBV is spread through sexual contact, by sharing infected needles, from a mother to her baby during delivery, through improperly sterilized needles used for tattoos and piercings, and through grooming supplies, such as razors, nail clippers, and toothbrushes. It is also spread by exposure at work from accidental contact with a used, infected needle or other sharp instrument, or from splashing blood. 31. By proper hand hygiene 32. Answers include: proper handwashing with soap and water and handling of contaminated wastes; additional Transmission-Based Precautions; cleaning surfaces with an appropriate disinfectant; and limiting the use of antibiotics
