Safe Practices for the use of Personal Protective Equipment	2015-01-19		.txt	text/plain	2415	125	51	To prevent the spread of infection and injury, emergency nurses must be well prepared to appropriately select and use personal protective equipment (PPE). 5 Recently the CDC issued revised standards for EVD precautions, which include detailed guidance on the types of PPE required during patient care and strategies for ensuring safe practice. 6 Because of the complex and detailed nature of the guidance on caring for a patient with known or suspected EVD, emergency nurses should seek information about precautions and PPE standards directly from the CDC Web page at http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/index.html. Examples of strategies that can be used to prevent injury include strict adherence to infection control precautions, hands-on and in situ training, and staffing that supports safe care. 7 The CDC recommends that health care providers receive repeated training and demonstrate competency in performing all Ebola-related infection control practices and procedures, including donning and doffing proper PPE before engaging in patient care activities.	./cache/cord-007571-xzm36og6.txt	./txt/cord-007571-xzm36og6.txt
