Isolation Precautions - Where to find?

Published

Hi there,

I am busily studying for the NCLEX and I am wondering if anyone knows of a website that has Isolation Precautions in it. A shortened version, not like the 225 page document the cdc puts out. I just need contact, airborne and droplet precautions.

Thanks

Have seen this info in the NCLEX forum here in the past. Look for posts that have the references listed, because sometimes there is a difference of opinion. You can probably be more assured of up to date info if you do a general internet search.

Try your foundations textbook. Mine had a nicely arranged table that made it easy to learn and study.
