Standard precautions are the primary strategies for preventing infections transmitted through blood, body fluids, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes. These precautions involve the use of personal protective equipment such as gloves, gowns, masks, and protective eyewear to prevent exposure to potentially infectious materials. Standard precautions also include proper hand hygiene, safe injection practices, and the safe handling of potentially contaminated equipment or surfaces. By implementing standard precautions consistently, caregivers can reduce the risk of spreading infections in healthcare settings. The other options do not specifically refer to the standardized guidelines and practices necessary for infection prevention in healthcare settings.
