Infection Control ... how to study for this???

Published

Okay I only see infection control in Saunders listed under Pediatrics.

Is there any other place/book I need to study with. It seems that is imperative for us to know this section (infection control) pretty well b4 taking the boards.

anyone ... pls help?

I had a lot of this information on the NCLEX, I would make sure you have a good understanding of dropplet, airborn, contact and standard precaustions........after this then look up common diagnosis and what precaustions need to be taken (TB-is airborn and one needs a special mask to enter room, private room, and neg pressure room)...........Let me know if I can help any more

I found a great web site for infection control,

http://info.med.yale.edu/ynhh/infection/ Use to home page for each new type of I.C. and the arrows on the top right to get futher info on ea. I.C.

This site made I.C. sooooo simple.

Hope it helps. Take care,

I found these two sites the day before I tested...thank God!! I had at least five questions that I know I got right because I spent a few minutes going over this material.

I just took the nclex pn on monday and I also had alot of infection control. I wonder if things like this are by design or chance? So like mitchsmom said take heed and know your infection control! ( I did pass my boards)

Thanks so much for the great website!! I thought I had a good understanding of infection control to begin with, but this was EXTREMELY helpful! Hopefully it will work out when I take the NCLEX on 7/18!! Thanks again for the great tip!!!
