Universal Precautions - Two words everyone should know
http://www.mfasco.com/universal-precautions-t.jpg
Universal Precautions may be a common phrase in the world of healthcare but to the average American they are unfamiliar words. Back in the 1980's, HIV was introduced to the United States. At that time, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) published a document called "Guideline for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals". Within that document there was a section dealing with blood and bodily fluid precautions. Five years later the CDC published "Recommendations for Prevention of HIV Transmission in Health Care Settings". The document recommended that bodily fluids, infected or not, should be considered potentially infectious.
