Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When providing post-mortem care, Standard Precautions and the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard must be followed to ensure the safety of the healthcare worker, as well as preventing the spread of infection. Medical and surgical asepsis is not necessary as the patient is deceased, and sterile technique and isolation precautions are also not necessary as the patient is no longer at risk of infecting others. The care plan may be used as a reference but is not the primary guideline for post-mortem care.
