Portal of entry
Susceptible host
Body defenses against infection, 1st, 2nd, 3rd line of defense
How we can break the chain of infection
Common practices of medical asepsis at health care settings (washing hands, maintain aseptic technique, keep the patient's room clean, etc.)
Use equipment and supplies for one patient, All equipment used for patient care is considered contaminated after use, Keep soiled equipment and supplies, especially linens away from your uniform, Consider the floor heavily contaminated, Clean the least soiled areas first, Pour liquids directly into a drain or toilet, avoid spilling)
