- 4. Protective Equipment PPE
- 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)
- 8. Transmission that occurs when pathogens are transmitted through a common vehicle source, such as food or water
- 9. Transmission that involves some form of touch
- 14. destruction of all microorganisms, pathogenic and nonpathogenic, and can be achieved through heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure, and other means
- 15. Period where the host begins to experience signs and symptoms of disease from the activation of the immune response
- 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
- 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
- 19. Precautions methods reduce or prevent transmissions of pathogens that spread by direct or indirect contact

- 1. Hygiene a general term for cleaning or disinfecting the hands by handwashing or by alcohol-based hand rubs
- 2. items worn to create a barrier, to reduce or prevent transmission of pathogens when contact precautions are necessary
- 3. Precautions methods that reduce or prevent transmission of pathogens by respiratory droplets generated by speaking, coughing, or sneezing
- 5. Precautions methods that reduce or prevent transmission of pathogen by the airborne route, such as measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis
- 7. use of chemicals to destroy pathogens and may include heat
- 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
- 11. Precaution, minimum infection control practices to prevent occupational transmission o disease; hand washing, disinfecting and sanitizing, changing sheets
- 12. Transmission that occurs when pathogens travel on dust particles or small respiratory droplets that become aerosolized when an infected person sneezes or coughs
- 13. removal of adherent visible soil, blood, and other substances, usually with soap and water
- 15. of Entry the route pathogens use to enter a new host after transmission has occurred
- 18. a protective immune response to cellular injury from a variety of causes, including infection and trauma
