Common scenario: All precautions should be followed strictly at all times in order to prevent contamination/infection at the point of care. While in some instances that is unavoidable, universal and institution based safety precautions are to be followed strictly in order to contain serious infections from spreading inside the institution and in the community.

Not likely: Infectious mononucleosis,usually caused by EBV virus, is contracted mainly thru oral contact with a patients saliva. IM is uncommon in adults because 90 % of adults have had subclinical IM when younger and are immune. Nevertheless, I recommend using disposable gloves when coming into contact with bodily fluids. You can purchase them in a roll(like Baggies). Have a checkup if continue to be tired
