Explain the importance of recognising the centrality of the individual rather than the disability Recognising the centrality of the individual allows us to have a person centred approach to the individual and how their disability affects them rather than stereotyping‚ leading to better outcomes. When focusing on the individual‚ we can encourage active participation from the resident which allows us to get to know the individual in a way they want us to and how they wish to be supported compared to

certain diseases. The environment plays an important role as well. Children in day care centers and in school pass infections around and then take them home and pass them to siblings and parents. This is a cycle that is difficult to break. Children also don’t always practice good hygiene and that makes them both susceptible to as well as good transmitters of disease. Many human infections are caused by either bacteria or viruses. Immunisation is available to prevent many important bacterial diseases

UNIT 22 INFECTION CONTROL OUTCOME 1 UNDERSTAND THE CAUSES OF INFECTION 1.1 Bacteria are one celled micro-organisms that get their nutrients fro their environment to live eg: The human body. Bacteria causes infections and can reproduce either inside or outside the body. Viruses are pieces of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a thin coat of protein. Viruses need to be inside living cells to grow and reproduce. They do not survive long unless they are inside a living thing eg: person

Causes and spread of infection Micro-organisms that cause infections are known as pathogens. They may be classified as follows: Bacteria: minute organisms about one-thousandth to five-thousandths of a millimetre in diameter. They are susceptible to a greater or lesser extent to antibiotics. Viruses: much smaller than bacteria and although they may survive outside the body for a time they can only grow inside cells of the body. Viruses are not susceptible to antibiotics‚ but there are a few

Infection Control Infection control is a very important topic‚ as there are many diseases and viruses that can spread very quickly if the correct action is not taken to stop them. Infection control concentrates on issues related to the spread of infections within the health-care setting‚ they can be spread patient-to-patient‚ from patients to staff‚ and from staff to patients. A few of the main aspects of infection control are prevention‚ monitoring/investigation of spread of infection‚ and management

and control measures implemented to prevent such infection ? To prevent and to control the spread of infection is primary in the health care settings. It begins by believing that everybody is very much infectious therefore‚ its everybody’s responsibility to prevent and control the spread of infection. Healthcare workers have a guidelines on how to prevent and control the spread of infection when providing care for all hospitalised individuals in healthcare. Workplaces are obliged under the

models of HPV 16 can be applied to other HPV groups as well.17 The principal route of transmission for HPV is skin to skin contact. Epidemiologic evidence shows that sexual behavior greatly influences the incidence and prevalence of HPV infections.18 To develop infection‚ infectious particles must find their way to cells in the basal layer of skin. Usually this access is provided through breaks in the stratified epithelium as a result of micro-abrasions or micro-traumas.

members of the genus Vibrio are Gram-negative‚ motile and most of the members have a single polar flagellum‚ when grown in liquid medium (Kaysner & DePaola‚ 2004). Vibrio cholerae lives naturally in riverine and is the causative agent of cholera outbreaks and epidemics. Vibrio cholerae is comma-shaped. Initial isolates are slightly curved‚ whereas they can appear as straight rods upon laboratory culturing. Vibrio cholerae is a facultative anaerobe and can undergo respiratory and fermentative metabolism
