"I will shower daily using antibacterial soap."
"I will change the bandage when it is draining."
"I will cover infected skin with moist bandages." - ANSWER "I will dry my
clothesin a hot dryer."
"I will shower daily using antibacterial soap."
"I will change the bandage when it is draining."
Drying clothes in a hot dryer will reduce the spread of infection, showering daily
with antibacterial soap will prevent infection, and changing a bandage when the
wound is draining will also help reduce the spread of infection. Soiled clothes
should be washed in hot water; this may kill the bacteria, thus reducing the
spread of infection. When covered with moist bandages, the infection may
promote the growth of bacteria; therefore the infected area should be covered
with dry bandages.

Streptococcal pharyngitis can spread through salivary droplets of an infected
patient. Therefore the nurse follows Droplet Precautions, which includes placing
the patient in a private room, if possible, to reduce the spread of infection. The
nurse should always perform hand hygiene before leaving the room. The nurse
should have the patient wear a surgical mask before leaving the room to prevent
the spread of infection. The nurse should maintain a distance of more than 3 feet
while communicating with other patients, because it helps prevent the spread of
hospital-acquired contagious diseases. A specially fitted N95 respirator is required
to prevent airborne infections, such as tuberculosis, but it is not required for
patients with streptococcal pharyngitis infection.
