The Importance of being knowledgeable of Bloodborne Pathogens

26 Jun 2020 7:12 AM | Anonymous

In today's society it's very important to have the knowledge of what bloodborne pathogens and how it's spread. I believe it's most important in a work place. On an average people work 40-80Hrs a week. Those are the same ones that are most likely to be in contact with bloodborn pathogens. If not handle correctly they can also be the same one that can spread it.

What is Bloodborne Pathogens? Is a disease in a human body, contracted through direct and indirect contact. It includes Hep B, Hep C and HI V which can also develop into AIDS.Its five ways its spread through contact. Those fives ways are eyes, nose, mouth and anus. An indirect way could be an used needle. 

For example an cna will need to learn how to deal with bloodborne pathogens. They will need to know how properly take off their gloves without disinfecting their hands. Also to immediately wash them for 20 seconds minimum. They always deal with disposing of briefs with bodily fluids. Its important to know which trash can to dispose the trash. Also again to wash your hands immediately afterwards for 20 seconds.
