Isolation is the practice of nursing a patient in a single-occupancy room to reduce the risk of spread of pathogens and to reinforce
and facilitate additional infection control precautions
There are types of Isolation
SOURCE ISOLATION: You isolate patient for the main purpose of prevent spreading infectious organism from the patient
PROTECTIVE ISOLATION: The reverse of source isolation. Prevention of spread of infection to an immunocomprimised patient
COHORTING: Isolating a number of patients carrying a particular organism. This mostly not advised as there could be different strains of the same organism and cross contamination.
Barrier nursing: A practice of nursing implemented to minimize the risk of transmission of infection from the patient to others.
