Wyoming plan for SCIP, and relate it to HAI's and SSI's and how it all relates to antibiotic resistance and "superbugs."

Step 1
The plan focuses on implementing evidence-based practices such as timely administration of prophylactic antibiotics, proper hair removal techniques, maintaining perioperative normothermia, and controlling blood glucose levels to minimize infection risks during and Show more…

What is Asepsis? Describe the Chain of Infection (Infectious cycle) and list all of the elements (links). What is a spore? What is a Pathogen? List the factors affecting immunologic defense mechanisms. Describe localized and systemic infection and give examples of each. Also give signs and symptoms. List the stages of an infection process and describe each. Explain the inflammatory response. What is a hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infection? Describe Standard precaution. What are PPEs and list examples for when each PPE must be worn? In what order should PPEs be put on and removed. List the types of Transmission-Based Precautions and explain each.

SLO 3 Relate microbiology and ecological systems to human health. You are sitting in the doctor's office waiting to see a nurse about a cold you have been fighting. You notice some signs. One says "Clean hands count." Another sign says "Be antibiotic aware. Say NO to antibiotics for viruses." Using the information above answer the following questions: 1. The purpose of using antiseptics and hand washing is to a. speed up the development of antibiotic resistance. b. control growth of microbial pathogens. c. increase growth of microbial pathogen. d. to moisturize dead skin cells. 2. Why would you say NO to antibiotics for viruses such as a common cold? a. Viruses cannot be killed. b. Antibiotics only work against certain bacterial infections. c. Antibiotics are only 50% effective against viruses. d. Antibiotics are no longer an effective treatment. 3. What is true about antibiotic resistance? a. It occurs when bacteria no longer respond to the drugs designed to kill them. b. Bacteria that are resistant to the drug survive, reproduce and become more abundant. c. It can make it more difficult to treat certain bacterial infections with antibiotics. d. All of these answers are correct. 4. How can we reduce antibiotic resistance? a. Use antimicrobial stewardship to effectively prescribe antibiotics. b. Use broad-spectrum antibiotics for all bacterial infections. c. Increase use of hand-sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. d. Increase prescriptions of antibiotics.
Outline and discuss how antibiotic resistance forms and suggest methods to incorporate that will delay the formation of microbial antibiotic resistance?
