February post

My interview with Elvessa really helped me find my second answer and understand it more than from the research I've been doing. She helped me understand how using Personal Protective Equipment is one of the best way to protect nurses besides hand hygiene. She told me that when nurses use PPE (for short) that it protects the whole body of the nurse and that all the microscopic germs that nurses get from going to each patient can transfer to another patient. Also she told me that when they use PPE it helps protect not just the nurses but also patients because when nurses come in contact with a patient with an infectious disease it is possible that it can be transferred to another patient by the nurse. So when nurses use PPE they stop the spread of diseases and protect everyone including themselves.
