PT.Care MIDTERM

The elimination of drugs from the body after they have been metabolized.

Designed to reduce risk of transmitting dust particles containing the infectious organism or airborne droplet nuclei

Second level of consciousness

Rapid pulse rate

Normal BUN levels

Reducing probability of organisms being transmitted to a susceptible individual.

Microorganism that produces disease.

‘Cold sweat’ - pale, cool (can be caused by anxiety)

A mild reduction in oxygen supply to the brain that occurs with changes in the body position.

Involving the movement of a drug from site of administration into the systemic circulation to produce a desired effect

Staphylococcus

Overreaction, under reaction, unusual reaction (Anxiety, appetite)

Airborne Precautions

Normal levels of Creatine

Treating items with heat, gas, or chemicals to make them germ-free.

Use verbal & non-verbal cues to encourage pt. To continue.

Used to restrict pt. Movement to ensure safety (physicians order)

How far can a droplet travel?

Any place where pathogens can thrive in enough numbers to pose.

Predictable action or effect of a drug other than that desired (nausea, headache)

Bun

Preform handwashing for

Direct contact, indirect contact (forties, vectors vehicles, droplet contamination, airborne)

Microorganisms that live on or inside the body without causing infections or diseases.

What does the clean tech touch (Immunosuppressed):

Process of reducing the total number of organisms.

Destruction of pathogens by using chemical materials.

Infectious individual coughs, sneezes, or speaks in the vicinity of susceptible host.

A metabolite associated with skeletal muscle

Reflection/reiteration

To reduce risk of transmitting pathogens by direct contact with skin/mucous,indirect contact with a contaminated object.

Infection resistance to a specific organism that occurs after an individual has been infected with the organism, or vax.

First level of consciousness

Above

Any medium that transports microorganisms (Food, water, blood)

Route through which blood, fluids, excretions, or secretions leave the body.

How a drug travels from the bloodstream to the target tissue and site of action

Allow pauses to give pt. Time to think and respond

Normal Systolic BP

Distinguish microorganisms as disease-causing.

Droplet Precautions

High blood pressure

Host touched by an infected person & organisms are placed in direct contact with susceptible tissue.

Individual receives preformed antibodies from others to provide temporary immunity.

Low blood pressure

A study how the body processes a drug and includes how drugs are absorbed, reach site, metabolized, and exit

Normal BPM

Slow pulse rate

Barriers that prevent microorganisms from entering the body (Skin, mucous, chemicals/tears)

Prevent undesired motion during imaging procedures

Designed to reduce contact of large-particle droplets.

What does the dirty tech touch (immunosuppressed):

Third level of consciousness

Proper cleaning, dusting, linen handling, hand hygiene.

Object that has been in direct contact with pathogenic organisms (IRS, x-ray tables)

To obtain good patient history.

Fever

Alcohol-based hand rub

Bluish coloration in the skin; indicates a lack of sufficient oxygen in tissues

Standard Precautions

Fourth level of consciousness

An arthropod in whose body an infectious organism developed or multiples before becoming infectious to a new host.

Occurs from dust that contains spores or droplet nuclei.

Normal temperature

Characteristic response to an allergen (Hives, asthma attack)

Purpose of the medication (Pain relief, reduced inflammation)

Normal Diastolic BP

Normal respiration

Slow respiration rate

Reduce risk of transmitting pathogens by airborne or droplet nuclei/direct ski to skin.

Hospital-acquired infection or healthcare-associated infection.

Responses to combined drugs that differ from their individual effects

Rapid breathing

Microorganism gains access into susceptible host.

A process by which the body transforms the drugs into an inactive form that can be excreted from the body.

Poisonous, potentially lethal (Respiratory depression, kidney failure)
