Friends,
Sorry i hit a button... to continue with the thought that all body fluid, non-
intact skin, and mucous membranes should be handled with gloves - EXCEPT
SWEAT. The infection control department, unless reminded that the breast is a
modified sweat gland, may inadvertantly begin to post signs that say
biohazardous on a breastmilk freezer. With a simple clarification you can
rectify the situation. While the JHL article was of interest, it did not
address the change from UP (universal Precautions) to SP (standard
precautions) in the United States. To have included that could have averted
some of these signs coming up and, fortunately, going down.
Regards,
Chris
