hi! i already posted this before and posting it the 2nd time...i made up my own mnemonics, except for the airborne precaution which i copied in the april thread...
source: saunder's 3rd ed.
transmission-based precautions: adc
a - airborne
d - droplet
c - contact
airborn​e precaution (credit goes to the one who posted this on april thread, sorry can't remember your name)
my - measles
chicken - chickenpox
hez - herpes zoster (disseminated)
tb - tb
private room
negative pressure with 6-12 air exchanges per hour
Others say follow the mneumonics. But other people are saying this and that. So what exactly do you wear when going inside the patients room with these precautions?
CDC both have contact and droplet as same. but according to some, airborne and droplet are gown, gloves, and mask. PLS help passer
The question that I have is that on the test you will have to put people in rooms with others that have one of these and on the list, as well as the CDC's site, there all listed as private rooms.
:D:Dthank you!!!!!
