Cevap
Assign the client to a single-occupancy room with a dedicated bathroom, perform hand hygiene strictly using soap and water upon exiting the room, and don a clean gown and non-sterile gloves immediately prior to room entry.
Norovirus requires contact and enteric precautions. To prevent the spread of this highly contagious virus, the client must be isolated in a private room with a dedicated bathroom. Healthcare workers must wear a gown and gloves upon entering to prevent uniform and hand contamination. Because norovirus is resistant to alcohol-based hand sanitizers, hand hygiene must be performed strictly using soap and water to mechanically wash away the viral particles.
