The variety of potentially infectious agents that frequent the health care environment is indeed large. As a result, health care workers are at some degree of risk for exposure to a variety of infectious diseases. However, as healthy individuals, we can protect ourselves quite successfully by following the guidelines that govern personal hygiene and immunization and adhering to accepted infection control standards of patient care, disinfection, antisepsis, and disease isolation. A clear understanding of the mechanisms of disease transmission is also important in this regard.
频繁出现在医疗环境中的潜在传染源种类确实繁多。因此，医护人员面临着接触各种传染病的一定风险。然而，作为健康个体，我们可以通过遵循个人卫生和免疫指导原则，并坚持公认的患者护理、消毒、防腐和疾病隔离感染控制标准，相当成功地保护自己。在这方面，清楚了解疾病传播机制也很重要。
