How to Study Precautions for NCLEX

Infection Control Precautions are huge on the NCLEX exam. It is important that you know and understand which diseases belong in each precaution category. On NCLEX, there will be questions that may ask you if patient A (who has TB) can be in a room with patient B (who has Hepatitis C), etc.

I have a video on my youtube channel that explains what you need to do for your patient and which Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) you need too. Please watch this video to go along with this post.
