What is the challenging concept for microbiology in nursing career and healthcare?
Identify one hazard and one associated risk present in an actual microbiology laboratory.
These are examples of the 5 rules of asepsis, except:
1. Any item used for patient care or that is visibly soiled must be considered "dirty"
and "contaminated"
2. If the item has been cleaned with a detergent disinfectant, it is both clean and
decontaminated
3. Sterile items are devices processed by steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide or other
sterilization method to kill most organisms
4. Dirty, clean and sterile items must be separated at all times
