⫸ Droplet Precautions. Answer: Droplet Precautions:
Use a private room, if available. Door may remain open.
Wear PPE upon entry into the room for all interactions that may
involve contact with the patient and potentially contaminated areas in
the patient's environment.
Transport patient out of room only when necessary and place a
surgical mask on the patient if possible.
Keep visitors 3 ft from the infected person.
⫸ Why are masks beneficial with droplet precautions?. Answer:
Masks help prevent the wearer from inhaling large-particle aerosols,
which usually travel short distances (about 3 ft), and small-particle
droplet nuclei, which can remain suspended in the air and travel
longer distances. Masks also protect the patient from the respiratory
secretions of the health care worker. Masks discourage the wearer
, from touching the eyes, nose, and mouth, thus limiting contact of
organisms with mucous membranes.

patients and other symptomatic people upon entry to the health care
facility or office. Encourage the coughing patient to maintain more
than a 3-ft separation from other people in the health care facility or
office.

risk for infection include: integrity of mucous membranes, pH levels
of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, immune response, age,
sex, race, heredity, level of fatigue, nutritional status, stress level, use
of invasive or indwelling medical devices and immunizations (natural
or acquired)
⫸ Abnormal Wound Drainage. Answer: Purulent drainage is made up
of white blood cells, liquefied dead tissue debris, and both dead and
live bacteria. Purulent drainage is thick, often has a musty or foul
odor, and varies in color (such as dark yellow or green), depending on
the causative organism.

defined, localized area of intact skin with nonblanchable erythema
