What is the most common form of severe diarrhea? Rotavirus
Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) spread easily. Name 4 examples. MRSA, VREnterococci, C diff, reistant gram neg rod bacteria (pseudomonas)
Contact Precautions Help prevent the spread of infections transmitted by direct or indirect contact. Gown and gloves req to have contact. MRSA, VRE, Resistant Gram negative rods, lice, shingles. Special attention to isolation, designated patient care items, careful cleaning
Droplet Precautions Help prevent the spread of infections transmitted by coughing/sneezing. Must wear a gown and gloves and mask to have contact with a patient or anything the patient has had contact with.Used for resistant organism pneumonia, influenza, Neisseria meningitis
Enteric Precautions Prevent the spread of C. diff, a spore-forming bacterium. A spore is a protective coat that allows an organism to survive high heat, dryness, radiation, some cleaning products. Must wear gown and gloves. Must wash hands with soap and water when leaving.
Special Precautions Help prevent the spread of VRE (transmitted by direct or indirect contact). Must wear a gown and gloves to enter the room. VRE persists in the environment so special attention to isolation, designated patient care items, and careful cleaning required
Airborne Isolation Help prevent the spread of infections transmitted by air. Must wear a special mask (N95) to enter the room. Used for Tuberculosis (TB) and rule-out TB. Requires a negative airflow room
Strict Isolation Help prevent the spread of infections transmitted both by contact (direct or indirect) and by air. Must wear a gown, gloves and mask to enter the patient’s room. Used for chickenpox or disseminated shingles
