He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Standard Precautions apply to ALL patients, regardless of their diagnosis or presumed infection status. • Hand hygiene is the single most important component, performed before and after every patient contact. • PPE selection is based on the anticipated exposure to blood or bodily fluids, not the patient's diagnosis. • A simple mnemonic for doffing (removing) PPE in the correct order for the exam: Gloves, Goggles, Gown, Mask (alphabetical order). • The absolute rule of sharps safety: Never recap a used needle and dispose of it immediately in a puncture-resistant container.
