Question

Denise is a dental assistant in your office who has been in the profession for 15 years. She constantly neglects to wear PPE when working with patients and doesn't always follow proper infection control protocols. Denise says that in her 15 years of dental assisting she never wore PPE and her infection control process is dependent on the type of patient she sees (adult or child). Denise also states that she has never gotten any diseases. How would you handle this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

first i would talk to her and ask her to wear her full uniform and be more cautious with deseases. you dont want to catch nothing and you also dont want to spread nothing. if that doesnt work i would speak to her supervisor. they shouldnt have somone working in their office who doesnt follow the rules. and if that doesnt make changes then i would look for another dentist to go to.
