Contact precautions
Topic: Infection control
Precautions for organisms spread by direct contact or indirectly through the client's environment, such as MRSA, VRE, Clostridioides difficile, infected wounds and some diarrheal illnesses. Use a single room when possible; put on a gown and gloves when entering and remove them before leaving. Dedicate equipment such as stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs to the client, or disinfect it after use.
