Infection Prevention

Enhanced Droplet isolation is used to help keep individuals safe from diseases that spread through the air from person to person, particles that come out of the mouth during talking or coughing and drainage from the nose, and diseases that spread after touching a patient or objects in the patient’s room.

When visiting a patient:

1. Perform hand hygiene before entering the room.
2. Wear a surgical mask, eye protection, gown, and gloves while in the room.
3. Remove and discard surgical mask, eye protection, gown, and gloves upon leaving the room.
4. Perform hand hygiene upon leaving the room.
