Isolation review 2

[futurern34]

According to the mnuenominc meningococcal meningitis is droplet precautions, but according to PDA it's contact? Help me out here? Thanks in advance for any responses!!

Though the infection control mnemonics that are popular here in allnurses are a terrific study aids to remember precautions, I think everyone should be mindful that they aren't strictly exclusive.

For example: While chickenpox is commonly known for being airborne precautions, it is also contact precautions.

Another example would be diptheria--which is both droplet and contact precautions.
