Hi I am a bit confused with the precautions that need to be met with the different infections. What does it mean when it is said that Vancomycin-resistant enterococci is resistant to hand gel. Does it mean that it is not effective against the microorganism, or if the hand gel can be used? I know for difficle, you need to thoroughly wash your hands with soap. Thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!

so do you need it for respiratory?

I'm a new nursing student, hope you understand!

Hi everyone, I need help with some of the precautions that you need to follow in the hospitals as nurses. My nursing instructor has went over some of the precautions that we need to use, but she confused me further. I tried reading the fundamentals book, etc but still a bit confused..... If I can get some help, I would really appreciate it!!!!!!! 1. For those with respiratory infections such as influenza, do you need to always wear a mask or only if you go 3 feet near the patient? 2. And for VRE (Vanconycin resistant enterococcus), special organism do you need a mask? 3. Finally, I know you need a N95 mask for airborne (AFB), but what about airborne in general for those with measles, varicella do you need one? because on my notes it says that for those with TB you need a mask at all times, but not for those with measles and varicella. How come it is also airborne???? Thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone good night. I am having alot of trouble with rounding in math as it's been a long time since I've been back in school. With a question where you have an answer like 9.1342 where you are told to round to the hundreths, what would the answer be because your supposed to drop ever number below 5. Is it 9.13? ROUNDED IN HUNDRETHS. THANKS ALOT GUYS, AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD!!!

Thank you for the reply, it does make some sense to me now. But, a little confuse here. Do I add the mL ( 6 mL, and 4 mL) because the question is asking me to. What if the question doesn't ask me to do that, and expects me to know how do you think I can figure it out. Thanks very much!

Hi everyone, I will be having a exam on nursing diagnosis, and from the test I will have to know which one's are thew most correct nursing diagnosis answers and not a medical. Is there some kind of website that I can look into with examples of nursing diagnosis. Thank you all so much, and I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!

Hi gosh I really wish I knew how to solve those problems, but unfortunately I don't. I wonder is someone can help you out with them, it seems as if you are really struggling after reading your discussion. Good luck!

Hi thank you so much, I appreciate it. I justed wanted to know if there is a specific formula to solve these types of problems. Because I have noticed that people solve these problems differently every time. Let's put different numbers into the problem, would I solve it the same way. If you can tell me, I would appreciate it! Thanks again.
