Infection Control Help... Please :-)

Hey every one! I have bee reading EVERY one's NCLEX stories for days now. Super happy for every one! I have my test this coming Friday (the 6th) at 2 pm! Countdown is on!

I have studied very hard and I'm hoping for a positive outcome! I am however looking for some help. The common theme I have seen is there is a LOT of Infection control on the current exams. I have memorized the acronyms... You know... Airborne: "My Chicken Hez TB.", Droplet: "SSSPPPIDERMMMAn", and Contact: "MISS WEE". So I do know which disease processes belong in which category.

However, my fear is... how complicated are they on the exam? Is there lot's of, which pts can cohort with which pts? Can any one help me to study this material better than just memorizing the acronyms? I want to really feel confident with my infection control- and to be honest, at the moment... I don't feel super confident with it.

Thank you so much in advance, congrats to every one who passed, and best of luck to every one who has their exam coming up... like me!! :-)
