Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts and molds can spoil food and may cause a risk to anyone's health. Microbes cause infectious diseases such as flu and measles. But you do have to remember that less than 1% of bacteria can invade our body (the host) and make us ill. So even if it is 1%, that's still 1% that can harm you.

Some examples of how microorganisms affect humans and how they can enter through your body:

Respiratory tract (mouth and nose): Influenza virus which causes the flu.

Gastrointestinal tract (mouth oral cavity): Vibrio cholerae which causes cholera.

Urogenital tract: Escherichia coli which causes cystitis.

Breaks in the skin surface: Clostridium tetani which causes tetanus.

What aspect of effective communication do you think is most important in the health sciences?
DedPeter [7]

Let's all think about "Health Sciences" for a second. If any of you don't know what this means..it pertains to the field of medical primarily. With that in mind, you NEED to have effective means of communication in this field for many reasons of which some include: patient medical record accuracy, medication accuracy, diagnosis accuracy.

You wouldn't want to go into the emergency room at the hospital because you broke your toe and then all the sudden you are being taken to surgery for a procedure that is taking place on you left L5-S1 (lumbosacral spine). Or perhaps due to inadequate communication processes you could accidently be billed for a procedure that you didn't have and the next thing you know you have a bill in the mail from your health insurance provider stating you owe $23,000 for the procedure that they did not cover. Things like this could happen if you do not practice effective communication in this field.

Ierofanga [76]
<span>Inhalant abuse is also referred to as intoxicative inhalant. These inhalants are products of industrial and household production in which their purpose does not include inhalation. They are taken from a container that is highly pressurized or by room temperature volatilization. Examples of these are butane (inside a canister), rugby, thinner, paints, etc.  They are inhaled through the nose and trachea. The effects can be traumatizing depending on the substance used. They can lead to euphoria or vivid hallucinations. Too much of these can lead to death.</span>

Medical question? How should used medical instruments be transported from surgery room.
Nuetrik [128]

Use drapes to cover the carts when you're transporting them to Sterile Processing, there should be a Biohazard sign posted whenever transporting contaminated equipment/instruments to Sterile Processing as well. Spray all used instruments before transporting with a foam enzymatic so that instruments stay moist.
