تمرين 3

An infection preventionist (IP) at a local hospital contacted the nurse epidemiologist at the local health department to report that the hospital had received three laboratory reports of Acinetobacter baumannii infection from inmates at the local jail. The IP states that the jail typically sends all of their laboratory specimens to them for processing. The IP stated that the specimens were obtained from wounds and collected within a 2-month period.
The nurse epidemiologist discovers that all of the infected inmates have their wound dressings changed on the same day of the week in the same treatment room. She notices there is no sink or evidence of hand sanitizer in the treatment room. She recommends the following strategies except:
A) Install hand hygiene stations in convenient locations in treatment rooms
B) Clean and disinfect examination tables after each inmate is seen
C) Educate staff on proper wound care and hand hygiene
D) Recommend antibiotics for all inmates and staff
