If that can't happen, put patients that may facilitate transmission of the disease in a private

room (eg: V/D/incontinence/drainage)

Put together patients who are infected with the same disease (eg: MRSA rooms

with MRSA).If you can't do that, DON'T put infected patients in the same room with patients who have conditions that may increase risk of adverse outcomes from infection

(ie: immunocompromised, open wounds, possible long stay).

Change PPE and perform hand hygiene when switching patients, even if in the same room.What should be considered when rooming patients on droplet precautions?Put in a private room if possible. If not, put patients who have excessive coughing

or sputum in private rooms and group people with the same disease together (eg:

flu B with flu B) If you need to put someone with droplet precautions with someone who does not have the same infection - avoid putting the person on droplet precautions in the same room as someone at a high risk for infection complications (immunocompromised, long length of stay). Change PPE and perform HH if you switch patients, even if they are in the same room.

What should be considered when rooming patients on airborne precautions?Negative pressure ventilation room. Keep the door closed when not required for entry and exit.In the event of an emergency and there's a large number of patients on airborne precautions, consult infection control (CRY!), cohort patients with the same infection together in an area away from other patients (especially patients at a high risk for infection), use temporary portable solutions to create negative pressure.DiarrheaContact Remember C diff, norovirus - must wash hands.
