During a staff meeting, the supervisor reports on a recent infection control audit. Which finding indicates a need for staff training?

There is no need to wear gloves when feeding a client. However, universal (standard) precautions (treating all blood and body fluids as if they are infectious) should be followed in all situations. A client with active tuberculosis should be on respiratory precautions, including wearing a mask outside his private room. Staff members with exudative lesions or weeping dermatitis should not give direct care or handle patient-care equipment until the condition resolves, even if wearing gloves. Strict isolation requires the use of mask, gown, and gloves for anyone entering the room.
