references in one ppt slide show (PPE in health care setting slide # 45) says
“Giving a bed bath? Generally none?” in response to the
question What type of PPE Would You Wear. And yet in another article
states”Because a health worker cannot always know when a patient’s
body fluids are infectious, Standard Precautions should be used with all
patients in the health care setting, regardless of their infection
status” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
