Standard precautions are a recommended set of actions health care workers should take to prevent health care-associated infections and potentially infectious exposures. However, they are not reliably practiced, many opportunities are missed, and a substantial discrepancy between workers' stated performance and actual performance exists. This article presents findings from developing and testing standard precaution case scenarios to enhance nursing knowledge. Infusion nursing is high risk and entails highly complex care in dynamic settings. Challenges may exist when integrating this advanced care with fundamental standard precaution requirements. For this reason, findings from this study have implications for infusion nursing practice.
标准预防措施是医疗保健工作者应采取的一系列推荐行动，以预防医疗保健相关感染和潜在的感染暴露。然而，这些措施并未得到可靠的执行，许多机会被错过，而且工作者宣称的表现与实际表现之间存在很大差异。本文介绍了开发和测试标准预防措施案例场景以增强护理知识的研究结果。静脉输液护理风险高，且在动态环境中需要高度复杂的护理。将这种高级护理与基本的标准预防措施要求相结合时可能会存在挑战。因此，本研究的结果对静脉输液护理实践具有启示意义。
