c. diff

Dec 8, 200817 yr

If a patient is in a private room and has c diff, and then get's "cleared" of it and can be off of precautions...does their room and belongings need cleaned? Can't they re-innoculate themselves if they remain in the same room they were in when they had c diff? (I read c diff can live on surfaces for 5 months)...?

thoughts?

but what if they get cleared of precautions while still inpatient? I work at a psych hospital. Pt has a private room and had c diff. He is now cleared fo precautions but will remain in private room.
