PRESENTATION OUTLINE

SICK AS A DOG

STANDARD PRECAUTIONS FOR SCHOOLS.

BODY FLUIDS

WET? NOT YOURS? WAIT...

PROTECT

YOURSELF & OTHERS

THINK GEAR

THIS MAY BE TOO MUCH.
Gloves. Tissues. Paper Towels. Bandaids. First Aid Kit.
Do you have these in your classroom? No?
What will you do when someone has a bloody nose or worse?

High Risk employees should Vaccinate against Hep B with a 3 part vaccine. Ask your HCP.

FIRST AID KIT?

ANYONE?
Um. School Nurse?
You are blessed if your school has a full time RN, an excellent resource for all your standard precaution questions.
Ask and you shall receive.

SO CUTE. MUST BE OK.

HOLD uP
An estimated 30% of those infected with Hep B do not show or have symptoms.

Remember Hep B can live on surface for up to 10 days. Just wiping up a blood spill with a moist towel is not enough.

Assume everyone's body fluid is infectious. Safest practice.
