Greetings
  • On behalf of SJHS, WELCOME! We are pleased to

    this, we are required to request certain
    information from you on an annual basis.
  • To communicate this necessary information,
    please review this entire presentation and
    complete the acknowledgement agreement. A
    faculty handbook and student handbook should be
    printed as orientation tools to accompany this
    presentation. If this is your first clinical
    group at SJHS please contact me for information
    regarding unit orientation, 859-313-4493,

28
Infection Control
  • Hand Hygiene
  • New CDC guidelines outline hand washing and also
    state that alcohol-based hand cleansers are as
    effective as soap and water.

29
Alcohol-Based Hand Cleansers
  • Use before and after all patient care unless
    hands are visibly soiled
  • Apply cleanser to hands and rub until dry. Use
    only a small amount- too much product will not
    evaporate and will result in a slimy or sticky
    feeling
  • Do not alternate with soap and water-this will
    result in an increase in chapping and drying of
    the skin

30
Alcohol-Based Hand Cleansers
  • Let the patients see you use the product-it is a
    great patient satisfaction practice.
  • Offer alcohol hand rub to patients prior to meals
    and after bathroom visits-also to family members
    who provide care.
  • Pay close attention to nail beds and finger nails

31
Artificial Nails
  • CDC guidelines discourage the use of artificial
    nails in patient care settings. Bacteria can
    build up under the artificial nail, thus
    increasing the risk of bacterial contamination.
  • SJHS policy states NO artificial nails or
    extenders (are to be) worn by RNs, LPNs,
    Physical Therapists in direct patient care.

32
Radiation Safety
  • Minimize time in radiation area
  • Dosimetry Monitoring
  • Do not place your body in the direct path of an
    x-ray field
  • Wear lead aprons when around x-ray
  • Stay as far from the source of radiation as
    practical
  • Patient is a greater source for personal exposure
    than the x-ray

33
MRI Safety
  • Magnet is always on
  • Move patient from the scanner to the holding room
    in the event of a Code Blue
  • NO metal objects in the MRI scan room because it
    can cause serious injury/death
  • Only MRI SAFE oxygen tanks and regulators are
    allowed in the MRI area. Patient beds and IV
    pumps are not MRI SAFE. Pumps must be removed
    prior to entering the MRI scan room.

34

    infectious.
  • Perform hand hygiene before and after contact
    with patient or patients environment
  • Dispose of bio-hazardous waste in the proper
    container (sharps in sharps containers, etc.)
  • Use sharps safety products and work practice
    standards to prevent exposures

36
Standard Precautions
  • Perform hand hygiene before and after each
    patient contact.
  • Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever
    there is a possibility of exposure to blood or
