  1. 4. Protective Equipment PPE
  2. 6. removal of impurities and harmful agents to promote health and safety, and usually refers to the environment (does not indicate a specific level of cleanliness)
  3. 8. Transmission that occurs when pathogens are transmitted through a common vehicle source, such as food or water
  4. 9. Transmission that involves some form of touch
  5. 14. destruction of all microorganisms, pathogenic and nonpathogenic, and can be achieved through heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure, and other means
  6. 15. Period where the host begins to experience signs and symptoms of disease from the activation of the immune response
  7. 16. Hygiene cough etiquette used to reduce or prevent transmission of pathogens spread by droplet or airborne transmission; covering the mouth and nose with a tissue during a cough, etc
  8. 17. Transmission that uses a vector to spread pathogens between two or more hosts; may be in the form of human or animal bites, insect bites or stings, or infestation of tissues
  9. 19. Precautions methods reduce or prevent transmissions of pathogens that spread by direct or indirect contact
  10. 20. Period the time interval between initial exposure to pathogens and appearance of disease signs and symptoms
Down
  1. 1. Hygiene a general term for cleaning or disinfecting the hands by handwashing or by alcohol-based hand rubs
  2. 2. items worn to create a barrier, to reduce or prevent transmission of pathogens when contact precautions are necessary
  3. 3. Precautions methods that reduce or prevent transmission of pathogens by respiratory droplets generated by speaking, coughing, or sneezing
  4. 5. Precautions methods that reduce or prevent transmission of pathogen by the airborne route, such as measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis
  5. 7. use of chemicals to destroy pathogens and may include heat
  6. 10. Precautions practices used in addition to standard precautions and are only applied to patients/clients who are infected of colonized with pathogens that can be transmitted by droplet or airborne transmission, or by contact with skin or contaminated surfaces
  7. 11. Precaution, minimum infection control practices to prevent occupational transmission o disease; hand washing, disinfecting and sanitizing, changing sheets
  8. 12. Transmission that occurs when pathogens travel on dust particles or small respiratory droplets that become aerosolized when an infected person sneezes or coughs
  9. 13. removal of adherent visible soil, blood, and other substances, usually with soap and water
  10. 15. of Entry the route pathogens use to enter a new host after transmission has occurred
  11. 18. a protective immune response to cellular injury from a variety of causes, including infection and trauma
