2)What Are Nosocomial Infections?

Nosocomial infections are infections are acquired in hospitals and other healthcare
facilities. To be classified as a nosocomial infection, the patient must have been
admitted for reasons other than the infection. He or she must also have shown no
signs of active or incubating infection.
These infections occur:
up to 48 hours after hospital admission

up to 3 days after discharge
up to 30 days after an operation
in a healthcare facility when a patient was admitted for reasons other than the
infection
Nosocomial infections are caused by pathogens that easily spread through the body.
Many hospital patients have compromised immune systems, so they are less able to
fight off infections. In some cases, patients develop infections due to poor
conditions at a hospital or a healthcare facility, or due to hospital staff not following
proper procedures.
Some patients acquire nosocomial infections by interacting with other patients.
Others encounter bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses in their hospital environment.
3)Code blue:
"Code Blue" is generally used to indicate a patient requiring resuscitation or in need
of immediate medical attention, most often as the result of a respiratory
arrest or cardiac arrest. When called overhead, the page takes the form of "Code
Blue, (floor), (room)" to alert the resuscitation team where to respond. Every
hospital, as a part of its disaster plans, sets a policy to determine which units
provide personnel for code coverage. In theory any emergency medical professional
may respond to a code, but in practice the team makeup is limited to those
with advanced cardiac life support or other equivalent resuscitation training.
Frequently these teams are staffed by physicians (from anesthesia and internal
medicine in larger medical centers or the Emergency physician in smaller

ones), respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and nurses. A code team leader will be a
physician in attendance on any code team; this individual is responsible for
directing the resuscitation effort and is said to "run the code". This phrase was
coined at Bethany Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.[9] The term "code" by
itself is commonly used by medical professionals as a slang term for this type of
emergency, as in "calling a code" or describing a patient in arrest as "coding".
