  • Title: Infection control education for home care aides.
    Author: Rice R, Jorden JU.
    Journal: Caring; 1992 Apr; 11(4):54-9. PubMed ID: 10117721.
    Abstract:
    The very personal patient care provided by home care aides necessitates that they come into contact with patients' body fluids and secretions--a very real, although not always visible, source of infection and communicable disease. Therefore, educating HCAs about infection control and principles of universal precautions will maximize employee safety and improve quality patient care.
