It's INFECTION PREVENTON WEEK!
💉🦠🩺 🙌🏥💊⚕️
As an Infection Prevention Practitioner, patient safety is the number one priority.
Everyday, the amazing team of nurse preventionists I am a part of ensures that:
🦠 Healthcare workers wash their hands and get proper vaccinations;
💊 Doctors and pharmacists provide you with appropriate antibiotics at the appropriate time;
⚕️Catheters or indwelling devices are placed in your body after your skin receives proper cleaning and are kept clean and/or removed as soon as possible;
💉 Safe injection practices are followed at all times;
🩺 Healthcare workers wear gloves, gowns, and masks at the right times;
🏥 and your room and any equipment that is used on you will be clean.
Each of us—patients, families, and all disciplines of healthcare personnel—have an important role to play in preventing infections.
Becoming informed about Infection Preventionists and the infection prevention basics will help patients and their families stay healthy while receiving healthcare.
HAPPY INFECTION PREVENTION WEEK! 🙌
