Carry out Isolation of Infectious Patients

Isolating patients with infectious diseases is a critical measure to prevent transmission.

This focuses on demonstrating:

• Identifying patients who require isolation.
• Placing the patient in the appropriate isolation room or area.
• Implementing specific isolation protocols based on the mode of transmission (e.g., airborne, droplet, contact).
• Ensuring appropriate use of PPE when entering and leaving the isolation area.
• Educating the patient, family, and other staff about the isolation protocols.
• Maintaining necessary supplies within the isolation area.
