Standard precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms from both recognized and unrecognized sources of infection. These precautions apply to all patients, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status, in any setting where healthcare is delivered. The use of gloves, hand hygiene, and protective attire are part of this practice and are critical in minimizing potential exposures.
