Infection - The invasion and reproduction of pathogenic or disease-causing organisms inside the body Cohort Nursing - Involves one nurse or group of nurses exclusively caring for the identified infected cases; while other nurses care the unaffected patients. Normal flora - Microorganisms that reside in or on the body without causing disease Pathogens - Microorganisms that can cause disease (bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite) Vector - Agent that carries and transmits infectious pathog...

Assess - Identify infection risk, subjective data, objective data Plan - nursing problems and goals (infection risk, altered hydration/nutrition, pain, fever, patient isolation) Implement - manage symptoms, reduce infection risk Evaluate Nurse's role in managing and controlling the spread of infection Altered absorption due to decreased gastric pH, delayed emptying of stomach and decreased splanchnic blood flow. Altered distribution due to decreased water volume and serum albumin...
