ILCTE Lesson Infection Control Heroes

What do you want the students to learn about this topic?

1. Explain and be able to apply infection control vocabulary and abbreviations 2. Recognize conditions that microbes need to live and grow. 3. Describe the signs and symptoms of infection. 4. Explain and create the chain of infection. 5. Apply chain of infection knowledge to indicate what can break the chain of infection. 6. Describe and demonstrate how to prevent healthcare-associated infections 7. Identify people at risk for healthcare associated infections 8. Illustrate and demonstrate the principles of medical asepsis. 9. Understand and demonstrate Standard Precautions, Transmission-Based Precautions, and Bloodborne Pathogen Standards.

Why do you think they need to know it (life skills, careers, etc.)?

Commented [1]:

● Infection control is needed in everyday life to prevent the spread of disease. ● As future healthcare workers,students need to know how to prevent expensive healthcare associated infections.

Common Core Standards for Science and Technical Subjects Literacy.RST11-12.7

Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem. Literacy.RST11-12.9 Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible. Five years after graduation, what should they still know about this topic? How might they be using this knowledge/skill set? ● All persons need to know how to properly wash their hands to prevent the spread of disease. ● People need to recognize and understand the spread of disease through knowledge of a disease’s chain of infection
