Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

2.5K
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Fixed Action Patterns

18.0K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters

2.6K
The introduction of polyesters has brought major development to the textile industry. The wrinkle-free behavior of polyester blends has eliminated the need for starching and ironing clothes.
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

274
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

    Area of Science:

    • Marine Safety
    • Product Design

    Background:

    • Personal flotation devices (PFDs) are crucial safety equipment for water activities.
    • Modern PFDs offer improved aesthetics and comfort compared to traditional designs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the critical importance of wearing personal flotation devices for water safety.
    • To highlight the limitations of PFDs if not actively used.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational analysis of PFD usage and effectiveness in various water scenarios.
    • Review of PFD design trends and their impact on user adherence.

    Main Results:

    • Despite advancements in PFD design and style, their effectiveness is entirely dependent on proper wear.
    • Aesthetically pleasing PFDs do not inherently increase safety if they are not worn by the user.

    Conclusions:

    • The primary factor in PFD effectiveness is consistent and correct usage.
    • Future efforts in water safety promotion should focus on encouraging the consistent wearing of PFDs across all user groups.
