While observing a couple catheter placements‚ I realized the technicians do not treat catheter placements as an aseptic procedure. The technicians don’t wear gloves and don’t scrub as religiously as we were taught in school. Placing a catheter into the bloodstream without wearing gloves or scrubbing the area correctly could introduce bacteria into the bloodstream‚ resulting in nosocomial septicemia. Another thing I was made aware of during this day‚ the rules for the hospital has changed and the

Hand Hygiene and Aseptic Technique Keira L. Charles NURS 410: Health Deviation II Latricia Greggs‚ PhD‚ RN‚ November 17‚ 2014 Asepsis is the state of being free from living pathogenic microorganisms. Practicing hand hygiene and aseptic technique is effective in reducing the risk of associated infections in the hospital setting‚ but the adherence among health care workers are poor. Hand washing causes a significant reduction in the carriage of potential pathogens on the hands. Adhering to

Abstract The primary focus of this lab was on microscopy and simple stains. Crystal violet and Carbol fuchsine‚ simple staining components‚ were used to stain the slide in order to see the different microbes in order to determine their cellular shape and identify unknown ones by comparing. Introduction Bacterial cells are usually colorless because cytoplasm‚ for the most part‚ is transparent. Since the bacteria are colorless‚ it is almost essential to add a stain to make the bacteria more visible

Through this letter I would like to present my opinion regarding Grams staining method and reliability of this method. According to me‚ Grams staining process is a simple technique that assists in recognition of etiological agent and therefore can be called as one of the most significant staining practices in microbiology. Though‚ Gram is concerned that the staining process developed by him is imperfect because not all bacteria can be stained by it‚ but in my opinion‚ when we pour ethanol over
