These precautions should be used during
high contact care for residents with high risk
characteristics for MDRO colonization and transmission
(including Candida auris)*, even
if MDRO status is unknown:
- Functional Disability
- Incontinence
- Presence of indwelling devices
- Ventilator-dependence
- Wounds, unhealed pressure ulcers
This would include all residents in a
subacute unit.
*Contact Precautions should be utilized
if there is known MDRO transmission in the facility and/or
the resident with a confirmed MDRO has acute diarrhea,
draining wounds, or other sites of secretions or excretions
that are unable to be covered or contained.
