There is nothing scary for us as humans as being told or feeling like we have an illness, not only don’t you perform to your full potential but you also have a chance of infecting those around you if what you have is communicable. The quiz below is designed to help you review the precautions and risks you should know See morewhen it comes to infection control.

Rate this question:
They should be fluid resistant
Gowns should only be used once and then disposed of

Rate this question:
They should be worn once and then discarded

The maximum time they can be worn for is 24 hours due to moisture from breathing that render them ineffective
The mask can be moved worn around the neck after the visit to one isolation room and moved up to protect the nose and mouth when entering another isolation room
Rate this question:
During the delivery of healthcare, avoid unnecessary touching of surfaces in close proximity to the patient to prevent both contamination of clean hands from environmental surfaces and transmission of pathogens from contaminated hands to surfaces
When hands are visibly dirty, contaminated with proteinaceous material, or visibly soiled with blood or body fluids, wash hands with either a nonantimicrobial soap and water or an antimicrobial soap and water
If hands are not visibly soiled, or after removing visible material with nonantimicrobial soap and water, decontaminate hands with hand antiseptic
Decontaminate hands before having direct contact with patients
Decontaminate hands after contact with blood, body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, or wound dressings
Decontaminate hands After contact with a patient's intact skin (e.g., when taking a pulse or blood pressure or lifting a patient)
Decontaminate hands If hands will be moving from a contaminated-body site to a clean-body site during patient care.
Decontaminate hands after After contact with inanimate objects (including medical equipment) in the immediate vicinity of the patient
Review the efficacy of in-use disinfectants when evidence of continuing transmission of an infectious agent (e.g., rotavirus, C. difficile, norovirus) may indicate resistance to the in-use product and change to a more effective disinfectant as indicated
Do not wear artificial fingernails or extenders if duties include direct contact with patients at high risk for infection and associated adverse outcomes
Ash hands with non-antimicrobial soap and water or with antimicrobial soap and water if contact with spores (e.g., C. difficile or Bacillus anthracis) is likely to have occurred. The physical action of washing and rinsing hands under such circumstances is recommended because alcohols, chlorhexidine, iodophors, and other antiseptic agents have poor activity against spores
Decontaminate hands After removing gloves
Use EPA-registered disinfectants that have microbiocidal (i.e., killing) activity against the pathogens most likely to contaminate the patient-care environment. Use in accordance with manufacturer's instructions
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are likely to be contaminated with pathogens, including those that are in close proximity to the patient (e.g., bed rails, over bed tables) and frequently-touched surfaces in the patient care environment (e.g., door knobs, surfaces in and surrounding toilets in patients' rooms) on a more frequent schedule compared to that for other surfaces (e.g., horizontal surfaces in waiting rooms)
Wear PPE (e.g., gloves, gown), according to the level of anticipated contamination, when handling patient-care equipment and instruments/devices that is visibly soiled or may have been in contact with blood or body fluids
. Remove organic material from critical and semi-critical instrument/devices, using recommended cleaning agents before high level disinfection and sterilization to enable effective disinfection and sterilization processes
Place patients who pose a risk for transmission to others (e.g., uncontained secretions, excretions or wound drainage; infants with suspected viral respiratory or gastrointestinal infections) in a single-patient room when available
During periods of increased prevalence of respiratory infections in the community (e.g., as indicated by increased school absenteeism, increased number of patients seeking care for a respiratory infection), offer masks to coughing patients and other symptomatic persons (e.g., persons who accompany ill patients) upon entry into the facility or medical office [126, 899 898] and encourage them to maintain special separation, ideally a distance of at least 3 feet, from others in common waiting areas
