As soon as we get the result we isolate if positive. If a resident were sharing equipment, bleach wipes would need to be used to clean the equipment. Staff would know this based on the isolation sign on the door. The DON/IP continued to state respiratory equipment should be stored in a plastic bag, that is dated when not in use.

Transmission-based precautions are additional measures that protect staff, visitors and other residents from becoming infected. These measures are determined by specific pathogen and how it is spread from person to person. The three types of transmission-based precautions are contact, droplet and airborne. 3. The Centers for Disease control and prevention (CDC) maintains a list of diseases, modes of transmission and recommended precautions. 5. When a resident is placed on transmission-based precautions, appropriate notification is placed on the room entrance door and on the front of the chart so that the personnel and visitors are aware of the need for any and the type of precaution.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few precaution(s), instructions for use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), and/or instructions to see a nurse before entering the room. Signs and notifications comply with the resident's rights to confidentiality or privacy. 6. When transmission-based precautions are in effect, non-critical resident care equipment items such as stethoscopes, sphygmomanometer, or digital thermometer will be dedicated to a single resident (or cohort of residents) when possible. If re-use of items is necessary, then the items will be cleaned and disinfected according to current guidelines before use with another resident. - Contact Precautions: 1. Contact Precautions may be implemented for residents known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms that can be transmitted by direct contact with the resident or indirect contact with environmental surfaces or resident care items in the residents environment. 3. The individual on contact precautions will be placed in a private room if possible. If a private room is not available, the infection preventionist will assess various risks associated with other resident placement options (e.g., cohorting, placing with low-risk roommate). 4. Staff and visitors wear gloves (clean non sterile) when entering the room. While caring for a resident, staff will change gloves after having contact with infective material (for example, fecal material and wound drainage). Gloves will be removed and hand hygiene performed before leaving the room. Staff will avoid touching potentially contaminated environmental surfaces or items in the residence room after gloves are removed. 5. Staff and visitors will wear a disposable gown upon entering the room and remove before leaving the room and avoid touching potentially contaminated surfaces with clothing after gown is removed. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Clostridium Difficile, undated, showed the following: - Policy Statement: Measures are taken to prevent the occurrence of Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) among residents. Precautions are taken while caring for residents with C difficile to prevent transmission to other residents. - Policy Interpretation and Implementation: . 3. The primary reservoirs for C difficile are infected people and surfaces. Spores can persist on resident care items and surfaces for several months and are resistant to some common cleaning and disinfection methods. 4. C difficile is transmitted via the fecal oral route. Therefore, any resident care activity that involves contact with the residents mouth when hands or instruments are contaminated may provide an opportunity for transmission, for example: oral care/suctioning; . administration of oral medications; . 5. Steps toward prevention and early intervention include; ongoing surveillance of CDI; increasing awareness of symptoms and risk factors among staff, residents and visitors; considering C difficile and differential diagnosis, especially in residents with symptoms or risk factors; frequent hand washing with soap and water by staff and residents; wearing gloves when handling feces or articles contaminated with feces; disinfection of items with potential fecal soiling (e.g., bed pans, commode chairs, bed rails, etcetera.) Using disinfecting agent recommended for C difficile (e.g., household bleach and water solution or an EPA registered germicidal agent effective against C difficile spores); and removal of environmental sources of C difficile (ie., replacement of electronic thermometers with disposables). 9. Residents with diarrhea associated with C difficile (i.e., residents who are colonized and symptomatic) are placed on contact precautions.
