Exercise 4

Patient Education -A patient in a Transmission-Based Precaution room requests freshwater immediately after you have cleaned her wound. After you wash your hands and return to get the water jug it becomes clear from her distressed silence that she is offended. Think of ways to talk to her about asepsis and passing on infection so that she understands that this is not a personal matter.
