A resident is on Contact Precautions for VRE. What should you do about the blood pressure cuff used in that room?
- A.Carry the cuff to the next room after a quick wipe outside
- B.Leave dedicated equipment in the room for that resident only
- C.Share the cuff freely because VRE spreads through the air
- D.Send the cuff home with the resident's family members
Correct answer
B. Leave dedicated equipment in the room for that resident only
Why
VRE spreads by contact, so equipment stays dedicated to that room to avoid carrying germs elsewhere. It is not airborne, and sharing equipment spreads it.
