Private Room or cohort

Mask

also mask when patient leaves room?

door open when patient in room?

h) use dedicated equipment or clean and disinfect between patients

That it?

[Nurse Connie]

TB is definitely airborne. They need a private, negative pressure room, but they also need the special N95 mask.

[blinky, ASN, RN]

And the rest? Some of my review notes say door open for droplet and one says door closed.

[futurern34]

Door open for droplet, closed for airborne.

[Nurseadam]

TB is airborne, door closed, negative pressure, and 95N mask

droplets door open. I never seen a pneumonia pt with his door closed.... surgical mask and 3 feet from pt.

[blinky, ASN, RN]

airborne and droplet both have mask on patient if transfering
