Answer 1

Systemic infections which affects the entire body rather than affecting a single part of the body.

The local signs are, # Edema. # pain or tenderness # warmth of the area of palpation .# Increased pulse and respiratory rate.

Systemic signs are, #fever # malaise.

Difference between medical and surgical asepsis.

Medical asepsis	Surgical asepsis
# It is a clean technique.	# It is a sterile technique.
# It kills microbes on leaving body.	# It kills microbes before entering the body.
# It prevents transmission of microbes.	# It is necessary for invasive procedures.
# Clean fields	# Sterile fields
# following hand washing and gloves.	# Sterile scrub hand washing and sterile gloves.

Mediacl or clean asepsis reduces the number of organisms and prevents their spread.

Surgical asepsis include procedures eliminates micro organisms from an area and is practiced by surgical technologies.
