There are different types of isolation precautions, including:
- Standard Precautions: Applied to all patients, regardless of their infection status. - Contact Precautions: For patients with infections spread by direct or indirect contact. - Droplet Precautions: For infections transmitted through respiratory droplets. - Airborne Precautions: For diseases that are airborne, such as tuberculosis.
Nurses should follow hospital protocols for each type of isolation and use the appropriate PPE.
