Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medical asepsis includes practices such as hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, and using personal protective equipment that work to remove or destroy pathogens and prevent their spread. Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions are subsets of medical asepsis, but they specifically address different modes of transmission of pathogens. Sterile technique is a more advanced form of medical asepsis used in certain medical procedures to prevent contamination from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
