We do have tons of videos and articles that are primarily concentrated on topics that usually come out during the NCLEX®, so you check those out. For the meantime, we’ll go over the types of diseases that require airborne and droplet precautions. Airborne PrecautionsTo easily remember the conditions requiring airborne precautions, you just have to keep in mind: MTV. MTV stands for that popular channel, Music Television. MTV is a cable channel that’s on air 24/7. So, that’s your first clue: MTV is on air. Airborne means that a person can easily get afflicted by merely breathing the same air or being exposed to an infected individual who is in the same vicinity; whether it’s inside a bathroom, a car, or any closed space. The next clue for you to remember is that MTV stands for:
Take note that varicella or chicken pox, mumps, and rubella are also transmitted through contact with people who have the condition. Droplet PrecautionsWith droplet precautions, we have another television reference that will help you remember the different diseases involved. The show is called, “Pimp My Ride,” hosted by Xzibit, wherein they repair and customize old, dilapidated vehicles. Setting the show aside, the word that you have to keep in mind is PIMP. Though this word is a bit inappropriate, when it comes to recalling important nursing topics, conjuring up words or mnemonics that can help you remember, to the point of passing the exam is necessary. Just don’t use this when interacting with clients or with other professionals; this acronym is created for the purpose of effectively remembering the different droplet precautions. So, PIMP stands for:
Let’s go through these conditions one by one. Pertussis is also known as whooping cough which is a highly communicable disease that manifests as a deep, seal bark. Influenza, also known as the flu, is a contagious lung illness, much like getting a common cold but more severe and deadlier. This is also a condition that requires a flu vaccine to prevent progression into H1N1.
Meningitis can either be bacterial or viral. Bacterial meningitis is the worst that one can have because of its highly infectious nature. Meningitis occurs when the meninges inside the brain become inflamed, and the client will complain about a severe headache. Meningitis is diagnosed by acquiring spinal fluid through a spinal tap or a lumbar puncture. The spinal fluid will be sent to the laboratory for testing. For a more comprehensive discussion about meningitis, you can check out our other videos at SimpleNursing.com. Pneumonia is an airway infection of the deep portions of the lungs and is also considered as the primary killer complication of people who have undergone surgery. This is the condition wherein nurses instruct their post-operative clients to turn, cough, and deep breathe to cause re-expansion of the alveoli and prevent collapse. If the alveoli will collapse, the infection will settle in and cause pneumonia. A Summary Airborne infections are those that belong to MTV while droplet infections are categorized as PIMP. MTV is MMR, tuberculosis, and varicella. PIMP is pertussis, influenza, meningitis, and pneumonia.
