Still Marching
Epic fail!~
Health care professionals see many, many patients who are not considered contagious. Yet they still use gloves. Example: Allergy patients, pediatric patients getting well baby checks, nursing home patients, psych patients, cardiac patients, surgery patients. There are many more. Yet here we are with another agency given cart blanche to spread disease all day long.
Universal precautions assumes that everyone is infected regardless of diagnosis. Health care professionals are required to use gloves. If they don't their facility can be fined thousands of dollars for each instance gloves are not used.
Daughter happens to work in a pediatric facility. According to her about 25% of their patients are for well baby clinic. Also according to her, gloves are only required when handling body fluids, or giving shots.
Nice that I happen to be here for the holiday......
Of course YOUR daughter NEVER changes her gloves between patients. Good Show there! I hope whatever her licensing board is nabs her real good and fast! And you are dead sure that NONE of those people going through checkpoints and being handled by the TSA have any open weeping wounds, lice, scabies, ringworm, TB, MRSA, or other infectious junk that can be passed to the next person if they don't change gloves. Keep it up. You and your genius daughter.
Please simply admit that a RN knows more about requirements in their own clinic than you do and move on. I hate it when people make themselves look so stupid.
