What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens? My answer was this one: To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use. Also, we make sure to…arrow_forwardA.
