1 -- Standard precautions are used on all patients, regardless of whether they have a known infectious disease. Standard precautions are used by all healthcare workers who have direct contact with patients or with their body fluids. Since the patient has an abdominal dressing, the nurse will use standard precautions. Since the patient does not have a diagnosed wound infection, contact precautions are not necessary. The patient also does not have a diagnosed disorder that would necessitate droplet or airborne precautions.
