Standard precautions involve the use of barrier protection (personal protective equipment [PPE]),such as gloves,goggles,a gown,or a mask,to prevent contamination from (1)blood; (2)all body fluids,secretions,and excretions except sweat,regardless of whether they contain visible blood; (3)nonintact skin; and (4)mucous membranes.Precautions should be taken when giving oral care,when changing diapers,and when coming in contact with blood and body fluids.Further teaching is needed if the student indicates the need to use precautions when administering an oral medication to a school-age child.
