Diseases requiring enteric precautions

C-diff Dysentery from infectious cause Hepatitis A

If it's not one of these 4 diseases and you know it's HIGHLY contagious, it's probably droplet, so know the 4 airborne are!

(think: My Chicken Has TB) measles chicken pox Herpes zoster aka shingles TB

Common Microorganisms which require Contact Precautions :

1. Antibiotic Resistant Organisms (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureu (MRSA), Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), Penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP), Multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP)) 2. Scabies 3. Herpes Zoster (Shingles) localized 4. Diarrhea, Clostrididum difficile

Common Microorganisms which require Droplet Contact Precautions :

Contact Precautions Transporting patient:

1. PT should perform hand hygeine and wear a clean gown 2. For direct contact with pt, nurse or care provider should wear a gown and gloves. 3. Notify receiving area

Standard Precautions:

1. wash your hands (*Most important step in infection control, prevents nosocomial infections) 2. DON gloves (before coming in contact with anything wet, i.e. broken skin, mucous membranes, blood, body fluids, soiled instruments, contaminated waste materials. 3. wash hands again upon removal of gloves and between patients

airborne precautions, room considerations

note it's in alpha order

Enteric precautions are: Rules:

used to control diseases that can be transmitted through direct or indirect oral contact with infected feces or contaminated articles. Transmission of infection depends on ingestion of the pathogen. Examples of diseases requiring enteric precautions are dysentery and hepatitis. (1) Visitors must report to the nurses' station before entering the room. (2) Gowns must be worn by all persons having direct contact with the patient. (3) Masks are not necessary. (4) Gloves must be worn by all persons having direct contact with the patient or with articles contaminated with fecal material. (5) Special precautions are necessary for articles contaminated with urine and feces. Articles must be disinfected or discarded

Blood precautions are: Rules:

used to prevent acquisition of infection by patients and personnel from contact with blood or items contaminated with blood. Examples of diseases that require blood precautions (refer to Lesson 1) are HBV and HIV/AIDS

Excretion precautions are:

used to prevent acquisition of infection by personnel and patients from direct contact with fecal excretions. Some examples of diseases requiring these precautions are poliomyelitis and staphylococcal food poisoning.

Secretion precautions-lesions are:

used to prevent acquisition of infection by personnel and patients from direct contact with wounds and secretion-contaminated articles. Some examples of diseases requiring these precautions are conjunctivitis, gonorrhea, and syphilis

Secretion precautions-oral are:

used to prevent acquisition of infection by personnel from direct contact with oral secretions. Some examples of diseases requiring these precautions are herpes areolas and scarlet fever.

Protective isolation is: Rules:

used to prevent contact between potentially pathogenic microorganisms and uninfected persons who have seriously impaired resistance. Patients with certain diseases, such as leukemia, who are on certain therapeutic regimens are significantly more susceptible to infections (1) Visitors must report to the nurses' station before entering the room. (2) Door must be kept closed. (3) Gowns must be worn by all persons entering the room. (4) Masks must be worn by all persons entering the room. (5) Hands must be washed on entering and leaving the room. (6) Gloves must be worn by all persons having direct contact with the patient. (7) Articles must be handled according to local SOP.

Wound and skin precautions are: Rules:

used to prevent the spread of microorganisms found in infected wounds (including burns and open sores) and contact with wounds and heavily contaminated articles. Conditions requiring these precautions include infected burns, infected wounds, and infections with large amounts of purulent discharge. Diseases that may require wound and skin precautions include herpes, impetigo, and ringworm. (1) Visitors must report to the nurses' station before entering the room. (2) Gowns must be worn by all persons having direct contact with the infected wound. (3) Masks are not necessary except during dressing changes. (4) Gloves must be worn by all persons having direct contact with the infected area. (5) Special precautions are necessary for instruments, dressings, and linens. CAUTION: Only hospital personnel who have been vaccinated with poliomyelitis vaccine should have direct contact with patients who have active poliomyelitis.

Strict isolation is: Rules:

used to prevent the transmission of all highly communicable diseases that are spread by both, contact or airborne routes of transmission. Examples of such diseases are chickenpox and rabies (1) Visitors must report to the nurses' station before entering the room. (2) Door must be kept closed. (3) Gowns must be worn by all persons entering the room. (4) Masks must be worn by all persons entering the room. (5) Hands must be washed on entering and leaving the room. (6) Gloves must be worn by all persons entering the room. (7) Articles must be discarded or wrapped before being sent to Central Supply for disinfection or sterilization.

Respiratory isolation is: Rules

used to prevent transmission of organisms by means of droplets that are sneezed or breathed into the environment. Examples of such diseases are influenza and tuberculosis (1) Visitors must report to the nurses' station before entering the room. (2) Door must be kept closed. (3) Gowns are not necessary. (4) Masks must be worn by any person entering the room unless that person is not susceptible to the disease. (5) Hands must be washed on entering and leaving the room. (6) Gloves are not necessary. (7) Articles contaminated with secretions must be disinfected.
