UNIT-4223-007 The principles of infection prevention and control Outcome1 Understand roles and responsibilities in the prevention and control of infections The learner can; 1. Explain employees ’roles and responsibilities in relation to the prevention and control of infection As a minimum I need to ensure that I wash my hands before and after each activity. However, hand washing alone may not be sufficient for the activity I’m involved in. When assessing the risk of infection, the chances are that if you are assisting somebody to walk from the bedside to the toilet on the ward, hand washing alone may be sufficient. If, however, I was assisting with the repositioning of a patient who is incontinent, I would probably consider hand washing, gloves and an apron.
Aquatic Invertebrates: Adaptations and Feeding Guilds INTRODUCTION Global warming and human's authoritative influence on the environment such as deforestation, pollution etc. are taking a bad toll on the diversity of the ecosystem. Global warming which has brought about increase in the temperatures is disturbing the natural cycle of the ecosystem. This has brought upon an increased droughts throughout the world. The droughts and increased heat has had negative impacts on local aquatic invertebrates.
Care must be taken when squeezing the pipet bulb on the filter pipet. Too much pressure might cause the filter to leak or fall off. Add about 2 mL of fresh tert-butyl methyl ether to the solid in the RB flask, warm briefly, let the solids settle for a minute, and pipet the liquid to the centrifuge tube as before. Again allow the solids to settle briefly in the centrifuge tube, then filter the liquid through the pressure filtration apparatus, into the same 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Doing a rinse such as this helps to ensure that any trimyristin that was left behind in the RB flask and centrifuge tube is not lost, thereby helping to ensure that
In the second experiment called Soggy Paper (Martyn Shuttleworth, 2008) they used four different paper towels to see which one soaked up the water more. They kept track by cutting them and watch how many they used to absorb the water. Their conclusion was that the store paper towel absorb the most out of the four paper towels. Experiment Design: This experiment consists of: Stop watch A dropper ( a medicine dropper ) A bowel of water Three different paper towel sheets ( Bounty, Dollar General Brand and Basic) I will use a stop watch to measure which absorb the fastest per seconds/minutes. I chose this design plan because it was the materials were easy to get to (the materials were in my own home) and it seem to be the easiest way to do this experiment.
Control of exposure to hazardous to health act 1999 explains the responsibilities involve handling hazardous substances such as reduce using hazardous substances or using less hazardous substances and reducing exposure level as much as possible. So, it is very important for us to follow health and safety policies and procedures to eradicate risks from workplace
The purpose of this step was to remove (extract) most of the water that has dissolved in the ether layer. 2) The aqueous layer was drained and the solution discarded in the sink. 3) The ether layer was poured out the top of the separatory funnel into a clean, dry Erlenmeyer flask. 4) Several scoops of anhydrous Mg SO4 were added and the solution swirled. The MgSo4 absorbed the last traces of water the ether solution.
Another way to help kill bacteria is by drying clothes, sheets, and towels in a dryer instead of letting them air dry (Understanding MRSA Prevention, 2012). Washing your hands, as previously stated, is very important. People should scrub their hands for a minimum of 15 seconds, dry their hands with a disposable towel, and use a towel to turn the faucet off. Hand sanitizer should also be used when access to soap and water is not available (MRSA infection: Prevention,
Lake Huron is one of the Great Lakes and a major part of our fresh water system, which contains many wildlife and species. The lake however, is in a real danger, adversely effecting habitats, fish, wildlife, and human lives. Lake Huron has become a dumping ground for many companies, dumping waste that contains many pollutants. Bacteria levels have increased in the lake which can cause serious illness. These pollutants have reduced water quality, contaminated soils, and damaged the Lake’s ecosystems.
Activity 2 1. Actions I can take to help our environment * Walk, cycle, car pool and use public transportation * Buy what you need, not what you want * Eat less meat * Wash full loads of clothes in cold water and hang to air dry * Take short showers instead of baths * Close water taps while brushing your teeth * Donate, reuse and recycle items before throwing them into the trash * Harmful materials like chemicals, batteries, electronics, etc. should be
Let’s imagine what it would be like. Dialysis by definition is a treatment that performs the functions of natural kidneys when they fail (Dialysis, 1999-2012). The purpose of dialysis is to help keep the body’s chemicals in balance, which kidneys do on their own when they are healthy. The main function of dialysis is to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood to prevent build-up, to control blood pressure, and to keep a safe level of chemicals in the body such as potassium, sodium, and chloride (Dialysis, 1999-2012). According to the Mayo clinic, people with chronic kidney disease leading to kidney failure are the most appropriate reasons for a transplant of the kidney or kidneys.
