- BContact precautions✓ 正解接觸隔離措施
- CDroplet precautions飛沫隔離措施
- DStandard precautions標準隔離措施
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
困難梭狀桿菌(C. difficile)會產生具高度抗藥性的孢子,且無法被市售酒精乾洗手液殺滅。因此,針對此類感染,必須執行接觸隔離(Contact Precautions)。這不僅包含穿戴個人防護裝備(PPE),更強調必須以肥皂與清水洗手,利用物理機械摩擦移除手上的孢子。臨床上,此類病人應儘速安置於單人病室,並嚴格執行環境清潔。
Clostridioides difficile requires contact precautions because its spores are resistant to alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Nurses must use soap and water for hand hygiene and wear gowns and gloves to prevent transmission, as standard precautions are insufficient for this spore-forming organism.
✦ 台美臨床差異
在美國臨床實務中,對於 C. difficile 感染的病人,使用含氯消毒劑(Bleach)進行環境消毒是強制性的,且護理師在執行手部衛生時必須明確區分「酒精洗手」與「肥皂洗手」的適用時機,這是 NCLEX 常考重點。
