Slide 6 - Guide Questions & Applications
- How did microbiology evolve over time?
- Which scientist contributed most significantly to infection control?
- How are these discoveries applied in Philippine nursing practice today?
Microbiology evolved through continuous scientific discoveries, from early observations of microorganisms to understanding germ theory, developing vaccines, and discovering antibiotics.
While many contributed, Ignaz Semmelweis is credited with promoting handwashing, a foundational practice for infection control. Florence Nightingale also significantly advanced sanitation in nursing.
These discoveries are fundamental to modern Philippine nursing practice, guiding infection prevention protocols, vaccination programs, aseptic techniques in surgery, and effective antibiotic use for patient care. ---
