Bare Hands And Contamination In Gloves

For the Rhetoric in Response project, I chose to create a restaurant menu for an old western styled diner. I chose to create a restaurant menu to attract people to buy food and also because I prefer visualization over writings. In a restaurant, the menu is an important aspect for advertising the food that is being sold. The pictures and the design of the menu usually determines what the customer will purchase. Whenever I go to a restaurant that I have never been to, I look at the menu to determine what I would like to eat. The professionalism of the menu allows the audience (the customers) to determine the credibility of the menu. With this in mind, I started to look for a design, descriptions, and pictures that will fit together to create a credible, appealing restaurant menu.

The reason Sterile Processing interests me is because it is a career that I stumbled upon in my early twenties and come to know and love. The lack of knowledge the public has when it comes to this department is troubling. It is a key department of every hospital and clinic as they are responsible for infection prevention; yet most people could not tell you who they are and what they do. There are many challenges these professionals see on a day to day basis and require a very intricate skill set. I am a Sterile Processing Manager, responsible for a 30 person team on implementing safe practices for reprocessing medical devices and instruments. I often at the interview process, come across applicants

Hand Sanitiser is a liquid substance that was invented to enable humans to wash their hands without the use of soap or water. Hand Sanitiser was invented by a student nurse, Lupe Hernandez, she thought the idea of alcohol and gel together could clean hands in a situation where there was no access to soap or water. This ‘idea’ was produced in Bakersfield, California 1966. It’s a faster technique to achieve clean hands in a short period of time. Hand Sanitiser kills a variety of pathogens that regular soap may leave behind.

Having undergone inspection by OSHA, there are various issues concerning safety that were noticed and apparently need to be looked into within the workshop.

Hand washing has been proven to be one of the most effective means of preventing the spread of infection in healthcare facilities (Centers for Disease, 2015). An outpatient dialysis facility noted that staff was very complacent about hand hygiene. The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal 7 (JCPSG) states” that healthcare organizations must perform an accurate “baseline assessment of hand hygiene in order to identify opportunities for improvement” (The Joint Commission, 2016). 90,000 people die each year from hospital acquire infections at about a cost of 4.5 billion dollars (Fairchild, 2009). By increasing hand hygiene compliance could save this facility many dollars and not only that many precious lives.

Since 1847, Ignaz Semmelweis had been advocating in the medical community for the increase in the practice of handwashing. Based on the work of medical historian Dr. Howard Markel, we know that Dr. Semmelweis pioneered the medical field in prophylaxis (the prevention of disease) through his use of sanitation. Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was a “prickly Hungarian obstetrician” at Vienna General Hospital (Markel 1). An obstetrician is a doctor qualified to care for women giving birth. He tested many theories as to the mysterious cases of puerperal fever that plagued the maternity ward. In 1847 Ignaz Semmelweis almost revolutionized medical care when he discovered the importance of handwashing;

The purpose of this research was to determine the percentage of healthcare workers' hands that was contaminated with Clostridium difficile spores after routine care of a patient with Clostridium difficile and to identify the risk factors associated with the contamination. The study was conducted at a University hospital, in France, during the time frame of June 2007 through August 2007. The study reflected that the hand contamination was associated with exposure to fecal soiling and lack of glove use. The data showed that hand contamination was more common among nursing assistants than any other healthcare worker. This article abstract was straightforward and organized into the following headings: objective, design, setting,

To perform module 9 analysis, we followed Lab safety procedure by wearing safety goggles (Z87 brand), plastic apron, and a pair of latex gloves as a proper “PPE”. The team proceeded to gather module 9 analysis equipment which consisted of; an Oakton PCS tester 35 series, a HACH HQ40d portable multi-meter, a HACH digital titrator with Sodium thiosulfate titration cartridge 0.200 N, and delivery G tube. Furthermore, a stand ring with universal clamp, magnetic stirrer with magnetic stir bar, 1 Plastic Graduated cylinder (100 ml), 2 Plastic sample containers (250 ml), 2 Glass BOD Bottle (300 ml) with stopper, dissolved oxygen reagent powder pillows (2 Manganous Sulfate, 2 Alkaline Iodide-Azide,2 Sulfamic Acid powder pillows), and nail clipper. 1 Erlenmeyer flask (250 ml), Buffer standard solution for pH (4.0, 7.0, and 10.0) and Conductivity (12880µS), starch indicator solution, DI water bottle, Kim wipes. Upon gathering, we set the Lab data sheet, COC sheet, pencil, and calculator.

Salmonella and Listeria can lead to hospitalization, and a restaurant should not be able to get away with sticking you with the big medical bills that can come from it.

When occupational bloodborne pathogen exposure is mentioned, the first jobs that come to mind are usually with in the medical profession. These people are some who obviously require training for how to best deal with exposure situations. However, there are many other occupations where a person can encounter bloodborne pathogens – and some of them are not quite so obvious.

Hand hygiene is simply the act of cleansing one’s hands. When done properly, it removes or destroys microorganisms on hands which cause diseases. It is very effective in preventing health care infections. Different ways of achieving hand hygiene include washing with soap and water or applying a waterless antimicrobial hand rub to the hands commonly known as sanitizing.

Hand-washing is an easy and effective way to help prevent infection. Hand hygiene is done frequently throughout the day at ChildServe. This paper will explore the non-compliance of performing hand hygiene to maximize its effectiveness of infection prevention, and the proper ways to do so. It will also discuss how this practice is implemented at ChildServe.

This assignment will encompass how the results of the personal hygiene and susceptibility microbiology experiments provide a framework for the basis of the NICE Clinical Guidance (CG139) on Infection and how crucial the reasons for the hand wash protocol and hygiene is in all healthcare settings.

Newborns are born with physiological challenges. They have physical immaturity that is not able to function like an adult or child can. When newborns exit their mother’s womb, the newborn is welcomed into this new environment. The new environment can be unsafe, frightening, and cold for them. The transition from fetal to newborn life can be full of instability. Skin-to Skin Contact (SSC) is placing the newborn on their mother’s bare chest covered with a blanket. SSC warms a cool newborn naturally and maintains optimal temperature. The use of thermometer measures the newborn’s temperature taken at the axillary site. Implementing SSC is cost-efficient and offers many benefits. In order for SSC to be

Although hand sanitizer has it benefits, the spread of pathogens are controlled by using soap. One can have better benefits than the other one but they both kill bacteria and germs. Around the world scientists have discovered and test places for proof. Many things can happen if it is not cured right away. The population of not washing hands are not so good because people tend to not care or not think it is not that important. Well viruses, death, sickness,and germs are things that should be though fast. Read on to figure out why it is so important to know how to wash hands and to prevent them when it is not too late to turn back to the mistake. It claims things that would not even be brought up. Scientist observe changes as well as doctor do the same. The hand can easily be injured during everyday activities. Exercising it or moving them around can easily keep them on good conditions. Germs do love to be where it is warm, moist, and darkness. Just use p.p.e to prevent the bad things away. It all about safety and responsibility. Know the benefits of how your body works. It is an important risk in life.
