What is the nurse do to prevent scabies infection in other clients?

Isolate the client’s bed linens until the client is no longer infectious.-to prevent the spread of scabies in other hospitalized clients, the nurse should isolate the clients bed linens until the client is no longer infectious usually 24 hours after treatment begins. other required precautions include using good hand-washing technique and wearing gloves when applying the pediculicide and during all contact with the client. although the nurse should notify the nurse in the day surgery unit of the clients condition, a scabies epidemic is unlikely because scabies is spread through skin or sexual contact. this client doesnt require enteric precautions because the mites arent found on feces.
