- Factors affecting temperature, pulse, and respiratory measurements are age, time of day, exercise, stress, medications, recent food/drink consumption, pain, and other factors to be reviewed.
Chapter 20: Asepsis and Infection Control
- Medical asepsis: Techniques used to decrease transmission of infection to patients include hand hygiene, disinfection and sterilization.
- Surgical asepsis: Refers to “sterile technique.”
