護理師正在接收入院診斷為困難梭狀芽孢桿菌（C. diff）感染的病人。應實施何種接觸隔離措施？

困難梭狀芽孢桿菌（C. diff）會產生孢子，在環境中極具抵抗力，且透過糞口途徑傳播。標準預防措施不足以完全防護，必須採取接觸隔離（Contact precautions）。這包括入住單人病房（或隔離病房）、穿戴隔離衣與手套。特別注意，酒精性乾洗手無法有效殺滅 C. diff 孢子，必須使用肥皂與水洗手。

Clostridium difficile produces spores that are highly resistant to environmental conditions and spread via the fecal-oral route, necessitating contact precautions rather than standard precautions alone. This includes placing the client in a private room and wearing a gown and gloves. Note that alcohol-based hand sanitizers are ineffective against C. diff spores; therefore, washing hands with soap and water is required.

美國醫療照護中，針對 C. diff 病人，除了接觸隔離外，強調需使用漂白水（Bleach）為基礎的清潔劑消毒環境，因一般清潔劑對孢子無效。
