Prevention Of C Diff, C. Difficile, Handwashing Versus Alcohol Gel

Iv’e always heard that if you have common sense, that’s what it takes to get through nursing school, and become a great nurse. Though I’m disillusioned with the common sense approach of the decision makers who set the standards of nursing practice for us to follow. In the heat of this folding economy, I find it necessary to switch careers, and I want to be a nurse, I have a passion to do this, so I will, but also want some reassurance that I as a nurse, my safety and the safety of my family matters too. My need to switch to nursing has prompted me to do some research on emerging infections, which has enlightened me to two emerging infections in particular that are the most threatening to our health right now, that is MRSA (MRSA infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria – often called “staph.” MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It’s a strain of staph that’s resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. MRSA can be fatal.) and C Diff (Clostridium difficile) (also called C. difficile). C Diff is a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. Illness from C. difficile most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long term care facilities and typically occurs after use of antibiotic medications, (Clostridium difficile can be fatal.)

You need to familiarize yourself with the term C Diff, as this infection is growing at a rate of at least 10 % a year, you may hear that you harbor this bacteria in your bowels normally and that it only infects your system with an overgrowth by killing your own bacteria with antibiotics, allowing C diff bacteria to take over, apparently this is not always true, you may not have the resistant C Diff living normally in your bowels. With nearly a half a million people infected with this debilitating disease, this should be the number one priority at this time, this illness can cause gut wrenching diarrhea, the cramping and depletion of the body and can lead to death of the lining of the intestinal mucosa, and death to the person infected with this bacteria. There have been reports of persons infected with C Diff that have had over 20 diarrhea stools in one day, how debi
1000
litating this can be, how raw and how much pain can you bear before dying, this has to be one of the worst diseases ever. The people inflicted with this disease may be able to convey just how horrid it can be.

The highest risk factor points to antibiotics, this seems to be the number one factor at this time, which are ordered for infections, many that would be preventable with proper hygiene, including urinary tract infections and respiratory infections. Educate yourself on the use of antibiotics, these should be reserved for true infections, not just for cold symptoms. Prevention is key, when it comes to urinary tract infections, you always wipe from front to back after passing your urine, you never wipe from the back and always avoid getting your stool in the area of your urethra, where your urine comes out, this can lead to a vicious cycle of treating a urinary tract infection with antibiotics which can make you very susceptible to a C Diff infection in your bowels. Use and teach good hand washing techniques, starting with yourself, your children, and others, if your infant has touched any possibly germ ridden surfaces, start by picking up your baby and washing their hands. When you see someone rinsing their hands with a small amount of water, help them learn the importance of using soap and warm water with the proper amount of friction, including under the fingernails to rid their hands of bacteria. Keep your digestive system healthy as your stomach acid naturally kills germs and helps your body absorb vital nutrients. There is an amazingly large percentage of the population using stomach acid reducers, antacids, proton pump inhibitors, examples of proton pump inhibitors include Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, and many more, these reduce your stomach acid and sometimes can inhibit the absorption of calcium protein and more, and may also keep your stomach acid suppressed to the point of not being able to kill invading bacteria and viruses, so talk to your doctor abut the prolonged need for these medications.

My frustration lies with the people who set the standards for nursing, and also give the majority of the people a false sense of security when it comes to prevention, and washing their hands versus using alcohol gel which does not kill this bacteria, C Diff spores can live for up to over a year on most surfaces, I can’t imagine when taking off my gloves on a medication pass and using an alcohol gel on my hands while these C diff spores are doing a happy dance on my clothes and body, only to spread this infection to others. These C Diff spores are found on most surfaces, waiting to germinate in your bowels, touch these surfaces, then touch your mouth and you have ingested theses spores and enabled them to germinate. Common sense would be to wash your hands, arms and clothing as soon as possible. Visit the CDC Hand Hygiene Resource web page to view recommendations for hand hygiene, then take their test as they recommend alcohol based hand gels to kill bacteria, but do you want to kill all bacteria on your hands, and leave c diff to thrive. NO! Once C Diff is identified in any facility, they should have lab testing on various surfaces to begin a rigorous disinfecting process, as this disease is spreading at such a rapid rate, spreading 2 to 3 times faster than MRSA. The only housekeeping products that seem to be effective on C Diff are bleach solutions, not antibacterial products.

Prevention is key to these emerging infections, infection control should be law, not just good practice, and not left to the discretionary spending of any hospital or nursing facility.

Staying Healthy While Travelling In Asia

Food
When you are on holiday there are two things you must remember in regards to food. The first and most important is to eat, and enjoy eating. Make time everyday to eat. It’s not uncommon for travellers to be on both time and money budgets and kind of over look eating as an important part of each day. If you don’t supply your body with fuel, put simply, it will not work for you! Secondly and most obviously is to monitor the quality of the food you put into your body. Yes this means ask yourself if the food is safe, but not only that, is it healthy for you. It’s all too easy while travelling to shove in high energy, cheap and easy to access snack foods and overlook proper balanced meals. Without good food your body will not function properly, you will be more susceptible to illness, have less energy and be prone to headaches, get irritable and enjoy yourself less.

If you are on a budget, go local, look out for busy locally ran places. The busier the place the better the food is likely to be. Also go to the local markets, eat fruit, you will be surprised how cheap and good fruit is in Asia. Its clean, it’s good for you and it’s easy to obtain. Peel able fruit is a good option, if you are susceptible to upset tummies or the water is not too good in that particular country, as an added safety precaution don’t forget to rinse with bottled or purified water.

Of course you don’t want to get sick so check the place over, it’s never going to pristine, but just see, if the food is freshly cooked, or is it in a Bain Marie or reheated? Is the water clean? Are the tables clean? Is the raw produce used acceptable? All these are small signs to the quality of the food, if a proprietor cannot be bothered to clean tables, sweep floors etc he/she is hardly likely to be paying much attention to the cleanliness of your food! Another precaution is, always choose hot food from road side or local restaurants, and never go for warm rice or noodles, huge no, no.

You should note though, that most cases of food poising do not come from the food, it comes from bacteria accumulated on your hands, on plates, cutlery and glasses. So use your common sense -
• Wash your hands or use a sanitizer gel
• Carry your own drinking glass and travel cutler
1000
y, or just eat with your hands like locals do
• Make sure what you order is freshly cooked and not reheated
• Go for items like noodles, soups and stir fries that are quickly prepared, or meat curries and stews that have been cooked for a long time, just make sure they are re heated sufficiently! Avoid, rice that’s not freshly cooked, dried meat and fish dishes and anything that looks or smells a bit iffy!

Follow these simple rules and you should never get the travellers runs. Remember don’t mistake an upset tummy from change in diet as food poisoning!

Helpful hint: Quite a few trekkers swear by a bottle of coke with each meal, the acid in coke tends to kill off any bacteria taking a lap around your stomach juices.

Water
Drink, drink, drink. Keep yourself alert and hydrated by drinking 2 to 3 litres a day. In most countries in Asia, the tap water is not acceptable for drinking, and even if it is deemed so, I do not advise to drink it unless you are a seasoned traveller whose body has acquired the right balance to do so. Buying bottled water is the best bet, though it’s much better for the environment to carry your own water bottle and either treat the water or go for refills. Many places in Asia allow cheap refills from 10 gallon mineral water jugs. Also hotels should be more than happy to provide filtered or boiled water for you to treat. If you do buy mineral water, always check the seal and sell by date first. Another good tip to save money is to buy water from local shops, it’s the same water just half the price than in your hotel or tourist restaurant! Don’t forget brushing your teeth in some way is consuming water, so if you really don’t want to risk it, use bottled, treated or boiled water when doing so.

Heat
Keep yourself cool and stay fresh. If you are travelling in a hot climate, you need to slow down and pace yourself. Avoid spending excessive time in the sunshine. By wearing loose light layers of clothing and a good pair of sunglasses you will be surprised at how much better you feel. Heat and glare will add to your stress and “over it” levels! Take frequent rests in shady places and drink plenty of fluids. Water is a must but try some local items like coconut milk in south east Asia, fruit or yoghurt lassies in India and Nepal and fresh fruit juices (make sure they don’t add water or use local ice!) in Malaysia and Indonesia, although you will find in most restaurants and hotels in Malaysia that filtered water is used for ice, just ask. Avoid drinking beer, as cold and refreshing as it may be it’s not a good day time substitute for water! Try and plan you day to be most active when it’s cooler in the mornings and evenings and take rest during the hottest part of the day.

Rest & Relaxation
As simple as it sounds, getting enough sleep is vital to being healthy and active and enjoying your holiday. It’s all too easy when you are travelling to cram everything in, be constantly on the move during the day and stay out late at night. You have to remember to take it easy, or else you will burn yourself out and make your body more susceptible to illness. Try and plan your days to give you time sit down and relax, plan your travel and sightseeing schedules to minimize travel time. A little bit of forward thinking can save you headaches and make your holiday that much more enjoyable. It’s also a good idea to get a local travel company to arrange things for you, they will know the best ways to get around so that you can just sit back and enjoy yourself.

If you are on a long holiday, mid holiday you should try and plan a few days in restful place, such as a retreat or beach side resort.

Beyond The Bird House: Creating The Perfect Backyard Habitat For Bird Feeding

Bird feeding is one of the most popular hobbies in the United Statessecond only to gardening. So it is only natural that many people combine these two hobbies into one endeavor. When a garden or yard is planned and maintained with the needs of native wildlife in mind, it becomes much more than just a backyard. It is a “backyard habitat.”

Creating a backyard habitat for birds is an enjoyable and easy process. Birds require four basic things to survive: food, water, protection from predators and the elements, and a safe place to raise their young. If possible, leave some of the land on your property untouched. This allows some of the natural habitat to remain intact. Of course, that may not be a realistic option for many people. Most landscapers are well-educated on how to include natural plants and eco-conscious features in today’s landscape design. Select plants that offer food, fruit, insects, ground cover, shelter, seeds and nesting sites.

Even if your yard is well-established and “starting from scratch” is not an option, there are other things you can do to help attract and maintain birds in your backyard. Find out what plants are native in your region. Native plants will best match the diets and habitat requirements of the birds that live in your area. Call a local gardening club for suggestions. Most gardening enthusiasts are eager to share their knowledge and maybe even a cutting or two to get you started.

The easiest way to attract birds to your yard is to provide water. Fresh water is a magnet for attracting birds. Offer clean water every day, and clean you bird baths and water sources regularly. Birds need water to drink and bathe in throughout the year. Plan on using a bird bath de-icer (a small heated element that keeps water in a bird bath from freezing) if your region experiences freezing temperatures in the winter.

Refill your birdbath every day and clean every other day. DO NOT USE BLEACH! Elbow grease is the best way to clean the bird bath. Regular cleaning will keep mosquito larvae away, which you and the birds will surely appreciate. You can also purchase special devices that create vibrations on the water that will keep mosquitoes from laying eggs. The vibrations are gentle and do
1000
not pose any problems for the birds. There are other ways to offer water–such a garden pond or fountain. Fountains are a good choice because they naturally feature moving water that deters mosquitoes and other insects. The sound of flowing water from a fountain or waterfall will also serve the purpose of announcing your “oasis” to the birds in the area. It is also a relaxing and soothing sound that makes your garden a peaceful retreat.

If you choose a bird bath for your water source, it should not be deeper than 3 inches. It is also best if they have a textured bottom and sloping sides. It does not matter if you choose a hanging bird bath or one that sits on a pedestal or the ground. Be sure that you position the bird bath in a location that offers the birds some protection from predators. An open area is the best choice since predators will be unable to sneak up undetected on bathing birds.

Once you have water, you also need to supply food. Not all birds will eat seed. Some eat insects and others, like hummingbirds and orioles, prefer nectar. Offering a variety of feed will help attract a variety of birds. If you are only going to use one type of feed, it’s a good idea to offer a quality mixed seed. Some inferior mixes contain a lot of cheap fillers that birds do not eat. The birds will simply kick this seed out of the feeder and make a mess on the ground below. If you want to avoid a lot of mess below your feeders, look for feed that contains only the meats of seeds. Finches will eat a specific kind of seed called “nyjer” seed (it was incorrectly called “thistle” seed for many years). Nyjer seed requires a special type of feeder, so be sure to know what kind of seed your feeder is meant to dispense.

Offer as many feeding stations as your yard can hold. Space your feeders 30 to 50 feet apart at different elevations. Multiple feeders deter aggressive birds from dominating the stations, and providing ground feeders allow the timid species a place to feed. Make sure your birdfeeders are within short flying distance of cover and perches. Birds need to be able to fly to some place safe if a predator appears. Finally, make sure you frequently clean your feeders so seed will not mold. Thoroughly wash them with soap and warm water. Sterilize with a solution of 1 part bleach and 4 parts water. Rinse them completely and let dry. Keeping your feeders clean is an important step in ensuring that your backyard birds are healthy and free from disease.

After taking care of the basic needs of feeding the birds and providing water, you can also add bird houses to provide habitats for birds to nest and raise their broods. Buying a bird house that is designed for specific species is a good idea if you are trying to attract a certain species of bird. Make sure that the bird house you are buying is made with untreated lumber or non-toxic paint. Bird houses should have ventilation holes and holes in the floor for drainage. It is also important that the bird house has a panel that can be opened so you can clean out the bird house. Mount your bird house high enough to discourage predators and consider using a predator guard to protect vulnerable eggs and chicks from raccoons and snakes.

Dead trees are considered to be eyesores to people, but for birds they are a terrific food source and offer cavity-nesters a place to build a nest. Only remove them if they pose a safety threat. Excavating species (also called “primary cavity nesters”) like woodpeckers will carve out a cavity that other birds (called “secondary cavity nesters”) will use once they become vacant. It is also important to never use insecticides. They eliminate spiders, caterpillars, beetles and other insects that are a very important protein source for birds and their young. Sometimes the best way to create a habitat for wildlife is to leave the one that already exists as natural and unaltered as possible.

Keeping birds safe from predators is not always easy. Using predator guards is helpful for keeping
1000
nests and eggs safe. Natural predators are part of the ecosystem too, and you should not try to interfere too much with the natural order of things, but domestic cats sometimes pose the biggest threat to backyard birds. If a neighbor allows their pet cat to roam the neighborhood, you can ask them to have the cat wear a collar with a bell on it. This allows the birds to have a warning when danger is approaching. If predators such as raccoons become too aggressive or bold, you should call your local Animal Control office to remove the animal safely.

Attracting birds to your backyard is immensely rewarding. You will have the pleasure of watching nature interact. You will become aware of the various subtle changes in bird behavior throughout the seasons. Creating a backyard habitat is not only an environmentally friendly way to share your living space with natural wildlife, it also creates a soothing, restful oasis that can help you enjoy your world more fully.
