4. The reason for the national policy for colour coding of cleaning equipment is to ensure that the same cleaning equipment is not used in multiple areas, therefore reducing the risk of cross-infection. Outcome 2 1. The three steps of the decontamination process are cleaning, disinfecting and sterilisation. Disinfecting is a process used to reduce the number of micro-organisms to a safe level for a defined procedure but which may not necessarily inactivate all viruses and bacterial spores.
Unit 97 Support Individuals to Maintain Personal Hygiene 1 Understand the importance of good personal hygiene Explain why personal hygiene is important Good personal hygiene important to help take care of your body to prevent illness and infection. Good personal hygiene can also help to prevent the spread of infection to others. Describe the effects of poor personal hygiene on health and well-being Poor personal hygiene is known to be unacceptable in our culture. Good personal hygiene helps us to eliminate odours from our body. Odours occur from bacteria found on our skin and in our mouths.
This light is lost in the cladding of the receiving optical fiber. Core diameter mismatch loss is typically only a concern with multimode optical fiber. To avoid core diameter mismatch make sure to check the cores of your fiber and make sure they are the same size to the best you can. Intrinsic factors that can affect connection performance in fiber-optics come in many types. A numerical aperture (NA) mismatch occurs when the NA of one optical fiber is different from the NA of the other optical fiber.
It is important to correct the readings from the peas because the glass beads are used as a control in which no changes should occur in CO2 and oxygen levels due to their abiotic nature. 3. For both plants and animals, cellular respiration occurs not only during the daytime but also at night. However, cellular respiration cannot occur if there are not enough reactants to carry out the process. For example, because plants supply an abundant amount of oxygen to the atmosphere, it would be difficult for living cells in humans to respire if plants were ever to be demolished from Earth.
Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes. This is managed in the human body by a series of highly evolved and complex interactions that work to maintain or alter internal system to return to a normal and stable range that will best serve the individual’s needs; this range can be different depending on the physical and psychological functionality of the individual. This process is key to the survival of the individual as an inability to maintain homeostasis known as a homeostatic imbalance can lead to death usually through heart failure or can cause diseases such as diabetes and hypoglycaemia. There are 5 key parts of the body that help maintain homeostasis these are the liver, the kidneys, hypothalamus, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. These work to maintain homeostasis in terms or heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature, blood glucose levels, iron levels and concentration of body fluids (blood water potential).
So early humans would always have an extra supply of food 10. Cities were larger and more complex. Because of surplus of food and innovation in agriculture. 11. I would say that it was based more on cooperation.
(http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/tmdl/glossary.cfm#section303d) Water quality research is very important to our society. This will help us protect our nations water systems, help us achieve a total maximum daily load of waste allocations on pollution. This will help sustain the ecological processes to support vegetation, fish populations, birdlife and our wetlands. (http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/standards/imp.cfm) The reason why this experiment is being done is to test my water system, and to determine the quality for life. The more we know about our water the better off we will be.
2. Be able to support individuals to maintain personal hygiene 2.1 – Support an individual to understand factors that contribute to good personal hygiene 2.2 – Address personal hygiene issues with the individual in a sensitive manner without imposing own values 2.3 – Support the individual to develop awareness of the effects of poor personal hygiene on others 2.4 – Support the preferences and needs of the individual while maintaining their independence 2.5 – Describe how to maintain dignity of an individual when supporting intimate personal hygiene When I help an individual firstly I ensure their safety, then make sure the door is shut and there is the necessary equipment at hand, so that I will not have to rush out of the room and leave them stranded. I also do not discuss the current situation e.g.going to the toilet etc. unnecessarily as this may make them feel uncomfortable, so instead I discuss other things such as any trips they
In order for the employees’ to carry out tasks safely and securely they need to supply the right PPE that will be able to prevent and control any infection as well as keeping the employees’ safe. Outcome 2 - Understand legislation and policies relating to prevention and control of infections 2.1 - Outline current legislation and regulatory body standards which are relevant to the prevention and control of infection. Current legislation and regulatory body standards :e.g. Health and Safety at Work Act (HASAWA) 1974, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002, Reporting of
This regulation concerns how food should be handled safely to avoid contamination and food poisoning. This is in order to protect the service user from potential harm; in addition, it is a legal requirement. 2) An agreed way of working could be to protect the service user’s confidentiality. As long as a situation does not place the service user in danger or give cause for concern, then a care worker must keep information given to them confidential. It is the responsibility of the healthcare worker to handle information appropriately; this applies to all information whether it is an opinion given verbally, social information, or financial or medical records.
