It's time to add the next section to your "Recognizing the Signs" book. Regardless of what type of healthcare-related career you end up in, you will come into contact with an individual suffering from an infectious disease. It will be important when that happens for you to know what type of precautions to apply to protect yourself and your other patients. There are several forms of precautions, including
- Standard Precautions
- Transmission-Based Precautions
- Airborne Precautions
- Droplet Precautions
- Contact Precautions
Do you know what these are yet? Do you think you will remember them six months or a year from now? You will be creating reference pages for your "Recognizing the Signs" book so that you will have something to look back to in a clinical setting. That way, you will know you're taking the right precautions with your patients. Listed above are four key types of precautions: standard, airborne, droplet, contact. Create a 1/2 page in your book for each. For each form of precaution, include the following:
- What is this precaution type?
- What types of PPE might you or should you wear?
- What are some of the most common infections these are used with?
Your info pages should include pictures/comics/diagrams, small bursts of text, and any addition information that might help you remember these precaution types. Remember - this is meant to be a quick cheat sheet more than anything else, so organized, small amounts of text are more useful than full sentences or paragraphs!
Your pages should be neat, organized, and should include all required content. Please refer to the rubric if needed.
