145

146

147
Fire Safety
PASS - P =Pull the trigger, A = Aim the nozzle at base, S = Squeeze the handle, S = Sweep side to side RACE - R = Rescue (remove residents in immediate danger), A = Alarm (activate the fire alarm or alarm others), C = Contain (contain fire by closing doors and windows), E = Extinguish/Evacuate (Extinguish the fire), F = Follow (Follow facility protocol)
148
Principles of Infection Control
Antisepsis/Cleaning - Absence of disease-producing microorganisms (prevent growth of pathogens and can be used on skin) Disinfection - Destroys or kills microorganism (used on objects and kills"99.9%") Sterilization - Destroys all microorganisms including spores and viruses (steam under pressure, gas, radiation, and/or chemicals)
149
Chain of Infection

150
Standard and Transmission-based Precautions
Standard: hand and respiratory hygiene, PPE, sterile tools, sharps safety, and injection precaution Transmission-based: Airborne (transmit through a droplet in the air; masks), Droplet (stays on objects for others to touch and contract; PPE of gloves and dress), and Contact (in contact with patient; could be through fluids or exposure; full PPE)
