What trap pathogens that are airborne?
mucus membranes
what food allergy occurs when the body has a reaction to?
A. cleaning chemicals. B. airborne pathogens.
How to prevent exposure to airborne or bloodborne pathogens during CPR?
Use a bag valve mask (BVM) to minimize possible bloodborne exposure. Using the BVM will allow the use of a mask on the face to minimize airborne exposure.
Can you get bloodborne pathogens from CPR?
It presents a low risk; blood borne pathogens are spread through your blood. You could become infected only if the injured person has an open sore on their mouth or have blood on their face. When performing CPR the only thing you should worry about is influenza or other airborne pathogens. Using a pocket mouth-to-mouth resuscitation mask or other barrier device can prevent this.by:Lillian
What pathogens respond to antibodies?
Antibodies respond to pathogens.
What trap pathogens that are airborne?
mucus membranes
What is the airborne transmission process for pathogens?
by relation
What is the most mode of transmiss of pathogens?
Needlesticks
What differentiates droplet transmission from airborne transmission?
the distance the pathogens travel
Can you get sick from a sneeze or cough?
Yes, you can, provided it is someone else's sneeze or cough. Airborne pathogens travel very far from the person who openly sneezes, and coughs can also release airborne pathogens that others can pick up.
How often must training be provided to employees about blood and airborne pathogens?
every year
How does airborne transmissions of a pathogen occur?

What is a airborne transmission?
the transmission of pathogens - bacteria, viruses, spores- in the atmosphere from person to persons for example coughing and sneezing expels the dust, pathogens etc out of the airways into the atmosphere where they can easily be inhaled by anyone or settle on inate objects to be transferred at a later date.
