Infection Prevention High risk populations, such as the elderly, have weakened immune systems, which make them more susceptible to infection. Quality infection control techniques will protect residents, visitors, other employees, yourself, and your family.
Transmission of Infection Contact - direct contact with infection Direct - touching the source of the infection Indirect - touching contaminated objects Droplet - secretions produced by coughing/sneezing or talking that come in contact with eyes, nose, or mouth of an individual Airborne – respiratory particles produced by coughing/sneezing, talking, laughing, exhaling and inhaled by another individual
How Can I Prevent Infection? Do not share or borrow personal supplies between patients. Keep your work environment and equipment clean. Perform procedures correctly and appropriately—shortcuts are unacceptible.
Preventing Infection Hand washing is the most important measure of infection prevention.
Alcohol Hand Rub HMC utilizes the alcohol based hand rub Avagard which is available in all patient rooms and exam rooms. The use of Avagard is recommended: • Before direct patient contact and prior to applying gloves (sterile/clean) ● After contact with objects within patient vicinity ● After removing gloves
Hand Washing Hand washing is necessary: • When your hands are visibly dirty or contaminated. • Before eating and after using the restroom.
Contact Isolation • Wash hands before entering and leaving patient room. • Wear gloves and gown when in room at all times. Remove prior to leaving room. • Use disposable equipment. Clean and disinfect shared equipment. • Wash hands before entering and after leaving.
Droplet Precautions • Door may remain open. • Wash hands before entering and after leaving room. • Mask required. • Wear gown & gloves when in direct contact with patient. • Dispose of gown, mask & gloves prior to leaving patient rooms.
Airborne precautions • Negative pressure room is required. • Keep door closed. • N-95 Mask must be worn before entering room. Students may NOT take care of patients in Airborne isolation.
C-Diff Precautions Wash hands with soap and water. Avagard is ineffective. Initiate Contact Isolation
