A-Z Index of Infectious Diseases and Isolation Precautions *This book was conceived as a much needed resource for clinical nurses to quickly find information on infectious diseases and recommended isolation precautions. As such it is structured as an alphabetical listing of all the most common infectious diseases and syndromes encountered in U.S. healthcare facilities. Each listing contains information that includes:
- Clinical description
- Causative agent
- Transmission
- CDC recommendations:
- Isolation precautions indicated
- Duration of precautions
- Additional comments by CDC
The book also contains several introductory chapters with discussion of disease transmission, detailed outline of each isolation precaution, and other issues related to infection prevention. This is a perfect resource for each nurse’s station.
