Initiating Transmission-Based Precautions 11

-Pathogens are the micro-organisms or microbes that cause infections. -Bacteria -Viruses -Fungi -Prions -Parasites -Virulence is the ability of a pathogen to invade and injure a host. -Herpes zoster is a common viral infection that erupts years after exposure to chickenpox and invades a specific nerve tract.

-An infection occurs when the presence of a pathogen leads to a chain of events. All compnents of the chain must be present and intact for the infection to occur. A nurse uses infection control practices (medical asepsis, surgical asepsis, standard precautions) to break the chain and thus stop the spread of infection. -Native immunity restricts entry or immediately responds to a foreign organism (antigen) through the activation of phagocytic cells, complement, and inflammation. This occurs with all micro-organisms, regardless of previous exposure. -Passive immunity is where antibodies are produced by an external source.

-A nurse should assess each client for the risks of infection specific to the client, the disease or injury, and the environment. -Caregivers using medical or surgical asepsis that does not follow the established standards. -Clients who have poor personal hygiene or poor nutrition, smoke, or consume excessive amounts of alcohol, and those experiencing stress. -Clients who live in a very crowded environment. -Individuals who make poor lifestyle choices that put them at risk. -Clients who have recently been exposed to poor sanitation, mosquito-borne, parasitic diseases, diseases endemic to the area visited, but not in the client's home country.
