A bit confused here

I just finished a practice question in which RSV was listed under droplet precautions needing gown, gloves, and a face mask for patient care--but RSV is listed under contact precautions according to the pneumonic "Mrs wee"

Thanks!! :uhoh3:

    There are contradictions in lots of situations. Go with what you think is best if you can not verify for certain or can not find out which is the newest recommendation. That is why many advise not to use more than one major resource.

    Did you look at the CDC's website?

    Yes I did, It's listed under contact precautions so I am basing myself on the CDC guidelines. Ebola is also contact precautions but more PPE is required when caring for these type of patient's (gown, gloves, cap, goggles, mask, shoe covers). I'm going over infections control carefully, my nclex-rn is in less then 2 weeks :eek:

    Thanks!

    And in case you missed my earlier posting, not only does My Chicken Have TB (airborne), but My STUPID Chicken Has TB!!!! In other words, Sars is actually under airborne according to the CDC's newest bulletin... ay!

    Mrs Wee is a pneumonic used to memorize contact precautions, I got it off this website :)

    M: Multidrug resistant organisms

    R: RSV

    S: Skin infections (ex: impetigo)

    W: Wound infections

    E: Enteric (C. Diff, norovirus)

    E: Eye infections

    and Croup is also listed under contact precautions according to the cdc. So I'm thinking "Mrs Weec" :D
