True or False: Nosocomial infection is another term for a hospital-acquired infection.

In 2020, as the number of cases of COVID-19 increased and spread across the world, it became considered:

When initially researching a nosocomial outbreak, epidemiologists should record which of the following:

Pathogen is defined as:

This non-living infectious agent, which causes the flu, cannot replicate on its own & infects healthy cells as hosts.

This living infectious agent, also known as worms, is acquired through consumption of contaminated food or water and often causes rapid weight loss.

This non-living infectious protein causes normal brain proteins to fold abnormally, leading to neurological symptoms (confusion, hallucinations).

This living, animal-like infectious agent thrives in the digestive tract of a host, depriving the host of nutrients from food and can sometimes be treated with antiprotozoal medication.

This common living infectious agent, which cause tuberculosis (TB), can be acquired in a variety of ways and can be treated with antibiotics.

This living, multicellular infectious agent, which causes athlete's foot, includes mildews, molds, and mushrooms.

An infected individual hugs an uninfected individual, depositing the pathogen on the new person. This form of disease transmission is an example of:

An infected individual pays at the grocery store with infected cash, spreading the pathogen to the cashier. This form of disease transmission is an example of:

West Nile Virus is spread through in intermediate insect that carries the pathogen: mosquitos. This form of disease transmission is an example of:

An infected individual coughs into the air, then an uninfected individual inhales the particles, acquiring the pathogen. This form of disease transmission is an example of:

When infectious pathogens enters the body, white blood cells (B-cells), produce THESE molecules to attack or impair the pathogens:

Vaccinations are an example of:

These components of our innate, or nonspecific, immune system are found in our nose, trachea, and lungs and work with mucus to trap foreign invaders:

These components of our innate, or nonspecific, immune system are found in digestive tract and on our skin to prevent foreign invaders from attaching.

The disease etiology of the flu is a/an ______.

When streaking the plate, you must ...

Why should petri dishes be stored upside down?

The growth medium that is poured into the petri dish is called (the) ____.

Bacteria that are rod-shaped are called _____.

The cell wall of bacteria is made of a sugar and amino acid-rich substance called ____.

Gram + bacteria stains _____ and gram - bacteria stains _____.

The purpose the gram stain test is to determine the thickness of the peptidoglycan layer. ______ bacteria has the thicker layer.

Look at the image. This bacteria is ______.

_______ bacteria are often more dangerous because they have an extra layer called the LPS (lipopolysaccharide) after the peptidoglycan layer. This layer can induce a serious immune response that leads to septic shock.

Thin peptidoglycan in cell wall

Which type of bleed would typically be more urgent to treat?

This member of the emergency response team is responsible for determining in what order the patients get care.

Signs of life-threatening bleeding include:

When packing a wound, pack gauze & lightly in the wound & then hold pressure.

Where should you apply a tourniquet?

You should tighten tourniquet until bleeding stops

Using hospital spaces that normally isn’t used to treat patients (conference rooms, break rooms) and staff who are credentialed, but may not be used to treating il or critically injured patients.

Overwhelms the hospital and forces them to use structures outside the hospitals such as tents, nearby buildings; staffing and supplies are based on whatever and whoever is available

Using only limited additional space, staff, and supplies; typical “busy day” at the hospital
