PPE Awareness for Long-Term Care Personnel |
Personnel and residents at Long-Term Care Facilities (nursing homes, skilled nursing, and assisted living) are highly vulnerable to the spread of contagious pathogens. People aged 65 and older are at higher risk for contracting COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. People with chronic medical conditions such as respiratory illness, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease are also just as susceptible. Both senior citizens and chronically ill patients are represented among the nation’s 1.3 million nursing home residents – a key reason why 1 in 5 US deaths from COVID-19 have occurred in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Coronavirus is just one example of a variety of pathogens that personnel and residents may be exposed to if the personal protective equipment (PPE) is not worn properly. This course will provide an awareness of disease-causing pathogens and protocols that protect personnel and residents from exposure to pathogens. Show less
