INFECTION CONTROL Contact Precautions (In addition to Standard Precautions) Visitors Report to Nurses Station Before Entering Room PRIVATE ROOM When a private room is not available, cohort with patient(s) who has active infection with the same microorganism but with no other infection. GOWN AND GLOVES ALWAYS wear gown and gloves when entering the room, regardless of the reason for entering the room. If the patient is in Contact Precautions, any type of patient care requires gown and gloves until the patient has been taken out of Contact Precautions either by the Charge Nurse, Physician or Infection Control Practitioner.
