IPC 1
This is the single most important measure to prevent the spread of infection.
Hand hygiene.
These practices should be used at all times in a healthcare setting and were formerly called universal precautions.
Routine practices
This is performed before any task to determine the level of protection required.
Risk assessment
In the MDRA, all soiled instrumentation is assumed to be this.
Potentially infectious
These two methods of hand hygiene are commonly used in healthcare
ABHR and soap with water.
