The Dirty Dozen In Infectıon Control
Twelve Things in this photo violate proper infection control practices in a patient isolation room. can you find all 12? (Answer key in recruitment ad section of this issue.)
ADVANCE thanks Theresa Houston, RN, CCRN, accreditation and infection prevention specialist, and Liz Zehner, RN, and Karen Savidge, RN, at Beebe Medical Center, lewes, de, for compiling this list and creating this scenario. Patient care technician Tammy Stern was a good sport and posed as the patient. after years of following exacting infection control practices, it was a challenge for them to set that aside to demonstrate incorrect practice.
