DTI 204 – Section 3, Lesson 1

Course Title: Transmission-Based Precautions

Lesson Description:

Transmission-Based Precautions are critical tools used in healthcare to prevent the spread of infectious diseases beyond the scope of Standard Precautions. These targeted safety protocols are based on the known or suspected mode of transmission of specific pathogens.

There are three primary categories of Transmission-Based Precautions:

• Contact Precautions – For infections spread through direct touch or contaminated surfaces (e.g., MRSA, C. difficile)

• Droplet Precautions – For illnesses transmitted via large respiratory droplets (e.g., influenza, COVID-19)

• Airborne Precautions – For pathogens that remain suspended in the air and travel over distances (e.g., tuberculosis, measles, varicella)

To ensure safety, students will explore the essential components of each precaution type, including:

• Proper hand hygiene

• Correct use of PPE: gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection

• Environmental cleaning and room controls

By the end of this lesson, learners will understand how to apply Transmission-Based Precautions confidently, comply with infection control protocols, and align with NHA certification standards in safety and professionalism. Mastery of these practices helps protect both healthcare workers and patients, supporting a safe, ethical clinical environment.
