Health

Leokris [45]2 years ago
7 0

The standard precautions are hand hygiene before and after all patient contact, and personal protective equipment, which may include gloves, impermeable gowns, plastic aprons, masks, face shields and eye protection.

Standard precautions are the minimum infection prevention and control practices that must be used at all times for all patients in all situations. All people potentially harbour infectious microorganisms. As such, it must be assumed that all blood and body fluids/substances are potentially contagious. Standard precautions are the work practices required to achieve a basic infection prevention and control level.

The use of standard precautions aims to minimise, and where possible, eliminate the risk of transmission of infection, particularly those caused by blood-borne viruses.

What would happen if someone drank a whole bottle of dayquil?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

you will possible throw it all up or die

Explanation:

Well I'm guessing if you drink a whole bottle you are looking for a “DXM high” which is essentially just you overdosing on dextromethorphan. Maybe you handle your DXM well and have pleasant hallucinations for 3 hours or so, but most likely you'll spend the next 6 hours throwing up and barely able to move. Those are the better two outcomes, you could also have a seizure and choke on your own blood, pass out and drown in your own vomit, have a heartattack, go into a drug induced coma, or die a slow painful death weeks later due to liver failure.
