Study Notes

Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) and Infection Prevention

Match the following:

Roles in CSSD:
Sterilization technician: responsible for maintaining and operating sterilization equipment
Central supply technician: responsible for assembling, packaging, and sterilizing medical supplies
Infection control practitioner: responsible for implementing infection control measures in CSSD

Infection Prevention:

Roles in preventing infection:
Hand hygiene: crucial in preventing healthcare-acquired infections (HAI)
Sterilization and disinfection: essential in preventing HAI
Personal protective equipment (PPE): vital in preventing HAI transmission

Historical Significance:

Pioneers in infection prevention:
Florence Nightingale: recognized the importance of sanitation in hospitals
Ignaz Semmelweis: introduced hand hygiene practices to reduce puerperal fever
Louis Pasteur: developed vaccination and germ theory of disease

Descriptions:

Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAI): infections acquired by patients during hospitalization
Sterilization: a process that destroys all microorganisms and their spores
Disinfection: a process that reduces the number of microorganisms, but may not eliminate all spores
