Question 1 of 3

Why do standard precautions apply to every patient?

 

Hand hygiene breaks the transmission link, and standard precautions treat every patient as potentially infectious.

Lesson 1, Why every patient, every time, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

You have just taken off your gloves. What comes next?

 

Clean hands as the last step after removing PPE.

Lesson 3, PPE: choose, put on, take off, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

When should precautions start for a patient who may have an infection?

 

Start on suspicion and tell the infection prevention team.

Lesson 4, Precautions, isolation and aseptic technique: grey areas, teaches this. See the outline
