******'''SBGH E5''' According to the crn on my ward, there is not a simple answer to the question. In regards to isolating MRSA or VRE positive patients, each case on this ward is determined with infection control input. If they are culture proven positive, they are generally put on "contact" precautions. Having said that, there are many factors that they consider when deciding whether or not to isolate someone. Some of those factors are strain of MRSA/VRE, whether or not they are going to be eradicated, and whether they are culture positive, or just suspect. The short answer would be, not every MRSA/VRE positive patient is put on isolation.[[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]] | ******'''SBGH E5''' According to the crn on my ward, there is not a simple answer to the question.

********TB isolation requires contact and airborne precautions. This requires the N95 mask and gowning and gloving. Ideal is also a negative pressure room. [[User:Lpruden|Lorri Pruden]].--[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 14:06, 25 October 2010 (CDT) | |||
