Isolation precautions-nurse server questionRating: (votes: 10) thanks for the suggestions What's a nurse server? Comment:
it's just a set of drawers in the rooms that house all the supplies a nurse would need; for ex.: pre-filled saline syringes, 12 lead stickers, duoderms, 2x2s, 4x4s, yankauers, etc.
Comment:
We have to tape our in-room cabinets shut with an iso sticker so nothing is contaminated inside them. For iso pts our volunteers stock those empty flush bins with supplies for iso rooms.
Comment:
so my question is then when the patient leaves, I guess in order to be cost effective the supplies can go with the pt., but we in the icu use a lot of stuff that the floor doesn't, so that's all wasted products...

We keep our supplies on a cart outside the door so you can get what you need but the things are not inside the isolation room.When the patient leaves we don't have to dispose of the supplies because they weren't in the room.Spmetimes if we get all gowned and gloved and realize we ned something we ring rhe pts call bell and whoever answers brings us what we need.
Comment:
We move the nurse servers outside the room for isolation patients. We bring in what we'll need and don't go back into the nurse server once we've entered the room.
