4 CONTACT PRECAUTIONS Purpose: It is the intent of this facility to use contact precautions for clients known or suspected to have infectious diseases or epidemiologically significant pathogens transmitted by direct client contact or by contact with items in the client s environment. BARRIERS INDICATED FOR CONTACT PRECAUTIONS Contact Precautions shall be used in addition to Standard Precautions for clients with specific infections that can be transmitted by direct and indirect contact. 1. RESIDENT PLACEMENT A. Client may be placed in a private room. If a private room is not needed/not available, the client may be placed in a room with a client(s) who has active infection with the same organism but with no other infection (cohorting). B. When a private room is not available and cohorting is not an option, consider the organism and client population when determining placement. A decision will be made on a case by case basis regarding the safety of placing the client in a room with another client. Examples of clients that may require a private room include clients with resistant organisms who have copious drainage from a wound. 2. GLOVES AND HANDWASHING A. Gloves should be worn when entering the room and while providing care for a client. B. Gloves should be changed after having contact with infective material (e.g. fecal material and wound drainage). C. Gloves should be removed before leaving the client s room and hand hygiene should be performed immediately. D. After glove removal and hand hygiene, hands should not touch potentially contaminated environmental surfaces or items. 3. GOWNS Revised 1/2007 4
5 A. For extra precaution, a gown should be worn when entering the room if it is anticipated that clothing will have substantial contact with the client, environmental surfaces, or items in the client s room, or wound drainage is not contained by a dressing. B. If a gown is worn, it should be removed before leaving the client s room. C. After removal of the gown, clothing should not contact potentially contaminated environmental surfaces. B. RESIDENT TRANSPORT A. Activities of the client may need to be limited. This will be determined on a case by case basis. B. If the client leaves the room, precautions should be maintained to minimize the risk of transmission of microorganisms to other clients and contamination of environmental surfaces or equipment. C. RESIDENT CARE EQUIPMENT A. Dedicated client-care equipment should be considered for the client. B. If use of common equipment or items is unavoidable, the items should be adequately cleaned and/or disinfected before use for another client. CONTACT PRECAUTIONS MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR (EXAMPLES): Scabies Pediculosis Varicella Impetigo Herpes Simplex Virus Revised 1/2007 5
6 DROPLET PRECAUTIONS Purpose: It is the intent of this facility to use droplet precautions to decrease the risk of droplet transmission of infectious agents. BARRIERS INDICATED FOR DROPLET PRECAUTIONS Droplet Precautions shall be used in addition to Standard Precautions for clients with infections that can be transmitted by droplets. Droplet transmission involves contact of the conjunctiva or mucous membranes of the nose or mouth of a susceptible person with large-particle droplets containing microorganisms generated from a person who has a clinical disease or who is a carrier of the microorganism. Droplets may be generated by the client's coughing, sneezing, talking, or during the performance of procedures, e.g. suctioning. 1. RESIDENT PLACEMENT A. Client may be placed in a private room. If a private room is not necessary/not available, the client may be placed in a room with a client(s) who has active infection with the same organism but with no other infection (cohorting). B. When a private room is not available and cohorting is not an option, maintain spatial separation of at least 3 feet between the infected client and other clients and visitors. Special air handling and ventilation are not necessary and the door may remain open. 2. MASKS A mask is recommended when within 3 feet of the client who is in the contagious stage of the disease process. 3. TRANSPORT Limit the movement and transport of the client. If transport is necessary, masking the client may minimize dispersal of droplets. DROPLET PRECAUTIONS MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR (EXAMPLES): Influenza Mycoplasma pneumonia Strep pharyngitis or pneumonia Revised 1/2007 6
7 ISOLATION PROCEDURES LAUNDRY consists of all linens, gown, and clothing worn by client on isolation and by visitors and staff caring for client. Procedures: 1. Nursing will clearly mark and label all isolation linen. Linen will be double bagged in room, using first, a water-soluble laundry bag and second, a regular clear plastic bag. 2. Linen will be held in a designated, isolated area for immediate pick-up by Housekeeping. Nursing will call for pick-up. 3. Linen is to be removed from the plastic bag and washed separately from other facility linen inside the water soluble bag. The hottest water temperature should be used along with a detergent and a germicidal solution. 4. Soiled linen is to be handled as little as possible. Laundry personnel will wear gloves when handling isolation linen or any linen visibly contaminated with blood. 5. The washing machine will be run a full cycle on empty with disinfecting solution/germicidal solution to cleanse the machine. 6. The isolation client s personal laundry will be cared for in the facility. Family will be asked not to take home any personal laundry while the client is in isolation.

9 CARE OF CLIENT WITH COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PURPOSE: Containment of potentially infectious diseases PROCEDURE: Clients will be placed in the infirmary or medically separated from other residents if deemed necessary until they are determined to be non-contagious by the physician or Advanced Nurse Practitioner for the conditions listed below but not limited to: 1. Diarrhea 2. Vomiting 3. Purulent Conjunctivitis 4. Strep (specifically for 24 hours after initiation of antibiotic therapy) 5. Fever above 101 degree F. 6. Childhood Diseases such as Varicella, Mumps, etc. 7. Influenza/Upper Respiratory Infections 8. Scabies 9. Infectious Mononucleosis 10. Tuberculosis 11.

If no nurse is present, the child is to be held back until one arrives to assess him. Following diagnosis by a physician, care must be taken to assure the safety of other clients, staff, families, and visitors from the transmission of organisms that cause disease and/or illness: 1. The Nurse will issue a medical alert to staff. 2. Precautions will be taken to prevent transmission to other clients. 3. Staff will be in-serviced by Nursing on precautions to be taken based on CDC recommendations found on the Control of Communicable Disease Manual 4.
