So today we're discussing the nursing management of airborne precautions for measles, varicella, and tuberculosis.
00:06
So the first thing when we hear airborne precautions and we see tuberculosis in this list is we know that we're going to be using standard precautions, so that's our gloves, but we have in addition an n95 or any respirator.
00:25
A big giveaway is when we talk about tuberculosis.
00:28
Okay, and then we have our first concept for this, which is delegation, right? and in the context of nurse management, that's delegating tasks related to airborne precautions to our nursing staff, right? so that's going to be ensuring that everyone knows about the proper use of ppe and about the handling of the materials related to the patients and to these conditions.
01:00
So that's going to be our first concept for this, which is delegation.
01:00
So that's the handling of our ppe, samples, all of that.
01:03
Okay, moving on to talk about levels of prevention.
01:08
Okay, so we have primary.
01:11
So that's going to be before this illness even starts.
01:14
So that's going to be stuff like immunization.
01:16
So getting our vaccines and preventing these diseases before they even happen.
01:25
Okay, secondary is right at the start.
01:31
So that's early detection.
01:34
So this might be suspecting it and testing it.
01:37
And early treatment.
01:39
So the sooner we get it treated, the sooner we can prevent it from becoming worse.
01:44
And then lastly, we have tertiary.
01:48
So this is in the long run.
01:50
So it's already happened and what can we do? and that's going to be our long -term care.
01:57
So that's helping us manage our symptoms and prevent complications.
02:02
Okay, the last thing to talk about is the long -term care.
02:04
The last thing to talk about is our advanced directives.
02:10
And these are going to be what a patient should complete, right? so these are things that give the patient a chance to express their wishes...
