This Transmission Based Precautions checklist helps healthcare teams implement and audit infection control for patients requiring isolation. It covers airborne, contact, and droplet precautions, including placement in appropriate rooms, door and signage checks, and PPE availability such as N95 or P2 masks, gowns, gloves, and level 2 or 3 masks. Staff can verify correct donning and doffing, ensure hand hygiene with alcohol based hand rub is accessible, and confirm documentation like infectious disease notes or safety alerts. The template prompts checks for patient masking when leaving rooms, availability of disinfectant wipes, correct clinical waste disposal, cleaning procedures, and whether patient information leaflets were provided.
