Activity: In a Health Care Setting This activity will help you to better understand how disinfection works in various health related settings. You will be determining what agent(s) will best suit the situation that is described. Read the questions and give a short answer in the space provided, and be sure to justify your answer. (Note: There may be more than one correct disinfectant. When that is the case, we ask that you provide two possible disinfectants.) 1. You are working as a school nurse, and a child is brought to you because he is symptomatic of a norovirus (the dreaded food poisoning). The child is vomiting and has diarrhea along with a low-grade fever. You must instruct the custodial staff how to handle the mess your sick patient has unfortunately made in the classroom. What antiseptics would you use for the child? What disinfectants would you use for the classroom, the child's clothing, the nurses office, and the hallway? 2. A wrestling coach is concerned about a recent MRSA outbreak in the neighboring school district. The regulatory body has shut down the neighboring schools program until disinfection, and inspection of the equipment occurs by the local health department. This coach wants to be proactive about the situation and decided to contact you at the local hospital for advice on how to disinfect his equipment. He also asks you to provide details he can give to his wrestlers on how to reduce the risk of MRSA on their person. Please provide a description of the answer you would give to the wrestling coach. 3. You are working in a hospital emergency room. While working in the triage room, you encounter a patient who has a severe case of Tinea corporis (ringworm). The patient in question has the fungus on his trunk and torso as well as his back and buttocks. What disinfectant would be recommended to destroy this fungus in the waiting room, triage, and in the patient's home?
