Urinary vre. transmission through touching the urine or by touching patients hand as well? . need precautions, please help as im always with the patient.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact precautions: When taking care of patients general contact precautions are in order so that we consider all as possibly having an infection that can be spread from person to person on our hands. Lister was right: handwashing (or alcohol rub) before, gloves, and handwashing after touching the patient or any of his bodily fluids, excretions or secretions. If you have possibility of getting sprayed, gown up.
