by BoszPrince May 23, '11Hi guys. I'm kinda confuse about infection control. . i know in Airborne you have to close door and has negative pressure and wear N95. Droplet you must be 3 ft away from the patient wear mask and googles ( doors can be left opened) . I'm concern about Contact precaution, i know you must wear gloves and gown, BUT I DONT KNOW IF I AM GONNA LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN OR NOT. Please help!

its a big help! but still it wont answer whether I'm gonna close or open the door with Contact precaution. Because it was one of the question from NCLEX when i took it last time.

May 24, '11 by uaefanHi Bosz,
Just like droplet, you can leave the door open for contact. That mnemonic that was posted is a godsend. Definitely all you need to answer any IC question that comes up on NCLEX. All the best! -

All the best! it was asked to me twice during the test and i thought i got it wrong. I also looking for what type of precaution will be used for Pneumonia Plague . . Is it Dropet or contact?

NCLEX may not test to that extent but never say never because those organisms will also be in the environment and contact precautions would need to be maintained, i.e. if a nurse has significant contact or interaction with the environment for a patient on droplet precautions, a gown would be used along with a mask (droplet). Droplet --> if closer than 3 feet, need a mask. But pneumonia inFinally!! thanks!! it was asked to me twice during the test and i thought i got it wrong. I also looking for what type of precaution will be used for Pneumonia Plague . . Is it Dropet or contact?
itself would be droplet if we had to chose from 2 choices droplet OR contact.
Hope this helps AND not confuses. Last edit by Fiori1020 on May 24, '11 : Reason: addition to text - May 24, '11 by passredskins1Quote from cooliegirli found this on the site, hope it helps. good luck to you on boards!!
