1 answer:

7 0

The standard precautions are hand hygiene before and after all patient contact, and personal protective equipment, which may include gloves, impermeable gowns, plastic aprons, masks, face shields and eye protection.

Standard precautions are the minimum infection prevention and control practices that must be used at all times for all patients in all situations. All people potentially harbour infectious microorganisms. As such, it must be assumed that all blood and body fluids/substances are potentially contagious. Standard precautions are the work practices required to achieve a basic infection prevention and control level.

The use of standard precautions aims to minimise, and where possible, eliminate the risk of transmission of infection, particularly those caused by blood-borne viruses.

c. the causation in fact, but not the proximate cause, of Ethel’s death.

Explanation:

The law includes two forms of causation: cause-in-fact, and cause-in-proximity (or legal).

The "but for" check decides the cause-in-fact: However the outcome would not have happened without the action.

Both requirements should be met for such an action to be considered to cause harm; proximate cause is a legal restriction on cause-in-fact.

lesya692 [45]

The respiratory system of the body can be injured by volcanic ash that comes from a volcanic eruption. You can inhale this ash and it can get into your body and system and mess with your inner organs. I don't see how this can happen with boulders and rocks, as they are way too big to be inhaled the way ash can be.
