At increased risk for being invaded by pathogenic organisms

Related Factors

• Inadequate primary defense (broken skin, traumatized tissue, decrease in ciliary action, stasis of body fluids, change in pH secretions, altered peristalsis)
• Inadequate secondary defenses (e.g. decreased hemoglobin, leukopenia, suppressed inflammatory response) and immunosuppression
• Inadequate acquired immunity; tissue destruction and increased environmental exposure; invasive procedures
• Pharmaceutical agents (including antibiotic therapy)
• Rupture of amniotic membranes
• Insufficient knowledge to avoid exposure to pathogens
