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.
No, drinking coffee is not forbidden in areas where there may be exposure to bloodborne pathogens. However, it is essential to follow proper infection control practices such as hand hygiene, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, and avoiding consuming food or drinks directly in areas where exposure to bloodborne pathogens may occur to prevent contamination.
There are a few ways that blood borne pathogens can enter the human body. The routes of transmission include sexual activity, contact with blood and bodily fluids, and accidental sticks with a needle in a health care setting.
Airborne pathogens can be trapped by various methods such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems, and physical barriers like masks or face shields. These traps help to prevent the spread of airborne diseases by capturing and/or inactivating the pathogens before they can be inhaled by people.
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
Blood borne pathogens are those which can be transmitted when blood infected with them is transver from one person to other like AIDS virus is blood borne and also other example is H. infuenzae which cause influneza and many more others

Sharps containers are designed with a puncture-resistant material and a secure lid to safely dispose of used needles and other sharp medical instruments. This design helps prevent accidental needle sticks and potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens for healthcare workers and waste management personnel during disposal.
The concept of universal precautions was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was introduced in the 1980s as a set of guidelines to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens in healthcare settings.
No. Transmission is primarily via the fecal-oral route as the virus is excreted in an infected person's feces; good hand-washing habits can help prevent the spread of infection.
Abstain from sex or at least have protected sex, do not share needles, and follow rules for bloodborne pathogens. The virus can be transmitted through blood and semen or vaginal secretions. It cannot be transmitted through kissing unless you have a sore in your mouth.
Yes. Antibodies do prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.
washing hands
Yes
The most common preventable cause of lung cancer is the smoking of tobacco products. So the most effective way to prevent lung cancer is to not smoke. This will not prevent all cases of lung cancer, but is a big start. Then limit your chest exposure to medical x-rays to the minimum necessary, and avoid exposure to airborne asbestos, silica, etc. That still won't prevent all lung cancers, but will do a great deal.
