List 5 ways pathogens might be spread in a hospital?
Pathogens can be spread in hospitals through healthcare workers who are not following proper hand hygiene protocols, contaminated medical equipment and surfaces, airborne transmission from coughing or sneezing, direct contact with infected patients, and through improperly sterilized instruments or devices.
Is HIV is easily spread through casual contact?

What occurred when pathogens are tranfered from one surface to another?
When pathogens are transferred from one surface to another, they can potentially contaminate the new surface, leading to the risk of infection if a person comes into contact with it. This transfer can occur through direct touch, airborne particles, or contaminated objects. The viability of the pathogens depends on factors such as the type of pathogen, the surface material, and environmental conditions. Effective cleaning and disinfection practices are essential to mitigate the spread of these pathogens.
