Infection Control and Standard Precautions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Infection Control and Standard Precautions ppt also includes:
  • Teacher Guide (.pdf)
  • Vocabulary
  • Join to access all included materials

With the number of COVID-19 cases rising dramatically, information about how standard precautions can be used to control infection is essential. The 16 slides in a presentation outline of how people need to change their daily habits to control the spread and flatten the curve. After examining a graphic that describes the Chain of Infection that permits the transmission of the microorganisms responsible for the infections, viewers learn about practices that break or block transmission.
