●​ Dedicate noncritical client care equipment (e.g., blood pressure cuffs, thermometers) to a single client to avoid cross-contamination. Airborne Precautions : (anthrax, tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox, or disseminated herpes zoster or other pathogens that can be transmitted through airflow that are 5 micrometers or smaller in size and remains in the environment for long periods of time) ●​ Place the client in an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR) with negative air pressure to prevent the spread of infectious particles outside the room. ●​ Healthcare personnel should wear a fitted N95 respirator mask when entering the AIIR to protect themselves from inhaling infectious particles. ●​ Susceptible people (those who have not been vaccinated or are immunocompromised) should not enter the room of a client who has rubeola (measles) or varicella (chickenpox) due to the highly contagious nature of these infections. ●​ Limit the movement of the client outside the AIIR to minimize the risk of transmission to others. ●​ Dedicate noncritical client care equipment (e.g., blood pressure cuffs, thermometers) to a single client to avoid cross-contamination. Contact Precautions : ( Clostridium difficile , or wound and skin infections, or multi-drug resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ) ●​ Place the client in a private room to prevent the spread of infectious agents to other clients and healthcare personnel. ●​ Healthcare personnel should wear gloves when entering the client's room to prevent direct contact with infectious materials. ●​ Wear a gown when entering the room to protect clothing and prevent contamination during care activities. ●​ Limit the movement of the client outside the room to reduce the potential for transmission. ●​ Dedicate noncritical client care equipment (e.g., blood pressure cuffs, thermometers) to a single client to avoid cross-contamination. These precautions are crucial in healthcare settings to control the transmission of specific infections and protect both clients and healthcare workers. Adhering to these guidelines diligently helps prevent outbreaks and ensures a safe environment for everyone in the healthcare facility.
