Reasoning:->>>The caregiver must have an understanding of standard precautions. n n n n n n n n




Prevention is the most important measure to prevent nosocomial infections.
n n n n n n n n n n




Standard precautionswerepublished in 1996that provideguidelines
n n n n n n n n n




for the handling of blood and other body fluids. These guidelines are used with all
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n

, Hospital clients, regardless ofwhether theyhave a known infectious disease. Standard
n n n n n n n n n n n n




precautions are used
n n n




by all healthcare workers who have direct contact with Hospital clients or with their
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




body fluids. It is not necessary for the caregiver to wear gloves while delivering food
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




trays tothe Hospital client, because there is not contact withthe Hospital client.

some infectious diseases require that special techniques be used to protect uninfected Hospital
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




clients and workers. The Hospital client with pulmonary tuberculosis will be placed in airborne
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




precautions. The Hospital client should be placed in a private room with special ventilationthat
