approaching infection outbreak in picu
An infection control nurse informed the PICU consultant that two patients have been found to have MDR Acinetobacter infections. This may constitute an Acinetobacter outbreak. The consultant should confirm it is an outbreak by investigating patients and the environment, calculating the attack rate, and comparing it to the background rate. If confirmed, treatment and prevention measures should be implemented, including isolation, cohorting, strict sterilization and disinfection procedures.
standard workplace precautions-waste management
The document outlines an orientation programme on standard workplace precautions and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for doctors at the Government Thiruvarur Medical College and Hospital in Thiruvarur. The two-day programme will be led by medical professionals from the hospital and will cover topics like standard workplace precautions, bio-medical waste management, occupational illnesses, and procedures for evaluating and treating healthcare workers who experience exposures. It will discuss the risks of disease transmission from exposures to different bodily fluids and emphasize hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and waste segregation and disposal practices for infection control in healthcare settings.
standard precautions.pptx
Standard precautions are the minimum infection prevention practices that should be used for all patient care to protect healthcare workers and prevent the spread of infections. They include proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment like gloves, gowns and masks, respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette, safe handling of equipment and waste, and cleaning and disinfection of surfaces. Standard precautions aim to assume all patient body fluids could be infectious and help minimize exposure to hazards in the healthcare setting.

Between the flags, but beyond the breakers; addressing perinatal mental healt...
This document summarizes data related to perinatal mental health referrals in Far North Queensland between September 2010 and August 2011. It finds that the vast majority (299) of the 300 referrals received during this period were for females. While most referrals were for Australian-born non-Indigenous individuals, referrals of Indigenous women and women from diverse cultural backgrounds were also served. The establishment of a perinatal mental health service in Cairns was found to increase referrals to consultation liaison services in the region.

Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 6
The document discusses vital signs including temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. It provides context on oxygen saturation measurement and lists the proper process for taking an oxygen saturation reading, including using standard precautions, selecting an appropriate site, ensuring the sensor is attached correctly, and documenting and comparing the measurement. The lecture also intends to cover pain as a vital sign and includes an assignment.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 5
The document discusses respiratory rate and assessment. It provides the normal respiratory rate ranges for newborns through adults. Factors that can influence respiratory rate are then listed, including neurological injury, acid-base status, altitude, medications, fever, exercise, stress, smoking, anxiety, acute pain, and body position. The document also outlines the respiratory assessment process and abnormalities to assess, such as hypoventilation, hyperventilation, tachypnea, and bradypnea.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 4
The document discusses blood pressure (BP) measurement and classification. It defines BP as the lateral force on artery walls, which is a good indicator of cardiovascular health. Normal adult BP is between 90/60 to 130/85 mmHg. BP is classified based on systolic and diastolic ranges from normal to crisis hypertension. Factors like environment, equipment, patient characteristics and position can affect BP measurement, which can be done directly or indirectly, usually by auscultation of Korotkoff sounds with a sphygmomanometer. The process of measuring BP is also outlined.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 3
The document provides an overview of measuring and assessing pulse (P) as a vital sign. It defines pulse as the throbbing sensation of blood in the arteries caused by the left ventricle of the heart. It then lists normal pulse ranges by age, factors that affect pulse, characteristics of pulse like rate and strength, the process for measuring pulse, and examples of abnormal pulses.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 2
The document summarizes a lecture on vital signs, including an overview of temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pain. It discusses normal ranges and sites for measuring core and surface body temperature in adults and newborns. Factors that can influence temperature are also outlined.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 7
The document discusses vital signs and pain assessment. It covers temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation as vital signs. It then discusses pain assessment, noting that pain is a subjective experience. It describes several pain scales commonly used in clinical settings, including the numerical pain scale, faces pain scale, and characteristics used to describe pain like location, onset, duration and quality.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 1
The document discusses vital signs including temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pain. It covers the importance of vital signs in monitoring homeostasis and treatment effectiveness. Nursing responsibilities in accurately measuring and interpreting vital signs according to normal ranges and comparing to baselines are also outlined. The lecture discusses vital signs overview, terminology, measurement techniques, and frequencies as well as an assignment.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 8
The document summarizes a lecture on vital signs. It discusses an overview of vital signs, and specific signs including temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pain. It outlines an assignment on these topics with three questions, due dates, and referencing guidelines. Key vital signs and the assignment are to be covered.
Ns1211 2009 Week 1 Part 6
The lecture introduces the ANMC Codes & Standards, nursing assessment, and Gordon's Functional Health Patterns. Gordon's patterns categorize 11 different health patterns including health perception, nutrition, activity, sleep, and roles. Holistic nursing considers people as greater than the sum of their parts by taking a holistic rather than reductionist view of health.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.pathology MCQS introduction to pathology general pathology
