Sinossi

POCKET GUIDE TO INFECTION PREVENTION AND SAFE PRACTICE provides nurses and other health care workers with a valuable and compact resource. This pocket guide meets the health care provider's needs for readily accessible information to prevent transmission of organisms during routine practice, handle significant employee exposure to infectious disease, and determine when employees should be excluded from patient care. It assists them in implementing the most current, research-based recommendations for safe practice and helps the nurse teach patients effective infection control measures. The book contains three units: trends and regulations in infection control; infection control strategies; and infection control and nursing procedures, with content presented in an easily accessible outline format.
