AI Summary
This report addresses the critical aspects of managing tuberculosis and preventing falls within a healthcare setting, focusing on a case involving Mrs. Smith who has active tuberculosis. It begins by defining standard precautions and identifying relevant principles for Mrs. Smith's care, detailing the airborne mode of transmission for tuberculosis, and outlining appropriate transmission-based precautions like droplet and airborne precautions. The report emphasizes the importance of infection control standards in preventing the spread of tuberculosis within the hospital, protecting both patients and healthcare workers. It also explores the Comprehensive Care Standard from the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards, highlighting its role in ensuring comprehensive, coordinated care that minimizes patient harm through strategies addressing pressure injuries, patient falls, and poor nutrition. Furthermore, the report discusses two falls prevention strategies—governance and systems, and communicating with patients and carers—explaining how these strategies can be implemented to prevent further injury to Mrs. Smith by involving her in the development of a personalized falls prevention plan and continuously monitoring the system for effectiveness.
