What is the medical definition of reverse isolation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reverse isolation: Reverse isolation may be used to protect someone who is immunocompromised. The patient is usually in a room by themself. People who enter the room will usually need to scrub their hands and wear protective gear. Normally food that is not from the hospital and plants can not be brought into that room.
