INFECTION CONTROL-ROUTINE PRACTICES AND ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS Routine Practices and Additional Precautions continue to be the terms used across Canada when talking about infection control precautions. Routine Practices Routine Practices are measures to be taken when caring for all clients at all times. They include: Risk Assessment Hand Hygiene Appropriate Use of Personal Protective Equipment Environmental Controls Immunization Health Workplace Policies Respiratory Etiquette Education and Training Additional Precautions are used in addition to Routine Practices when an individual has a known or suspected organism. There are three categories of Additional Precautions: Airborne precautions Droplet precautions Contact precautions Any health care worker has the ability to place any client in Additional Precautions without a physician’s order. Disease can be transmitted in more than one way. If this is the case, Droplet, Airborne and Contact may need to be combined as indicated. For example, most viral respiratory diseases are spread through the droplet and contact route, so a patient with a viral respiratory illness in the contagious stage, should be cared for using Droplet and Contact Precautions. The yellow isolation carts contain all of the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that is needed when a patient is placed in Additional Precautions. These carts also contain the signs that are placed on the patient’s door showing which PPE is required before entering the room. 21
