Dear nurses,

What do you do if the trash can in your patient's
room is overflowing ? If you continue to put trash
on the floor then you have just made your own
contribution to spreading infection.

Helpful hint:

- Try getting in touch with Housekeeping for help .

How does infection spread? Infection may spread
in many ways. Colds and flu's result from a weakened
 Immune system. The handling of food and poor hand
washing techniques may encourage the spread of infection.
