Answer:

What is infection control and why is it important?

Germs such as bacteria, viruses and fungi are everywhere!  Some are actually helpful, like the ones living in our own bodies. There are many that are harmful and can cause serious disease or death.  Infections can be transmitted in three main ways :

Directly from person-to-person;

Indirectly through equipment and supplies, and

Through the air.

The goal of infection prevention and control is to prevent the transmission of infection, and to keep both the older adult and their caregivers safe.

There are a few standard methods you can use to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.

These include:

Hand hygiene, such as washing your hands

Covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing

Having good personal hygiene yourself

Making sure you provide the older adult with good personal hygiene
