Five steps for preventing the flu in the waiting room are:
Make hand sanitizer accessible in high-traffic areas
Offer an antiviral face mask to patients and healthcare workers
Use germ-killing wipes on high-contact surfaces
Review containment plans and keep patients with flu-like symptoms away from others
Follow hand hygiene compliance standards
To make sure I do not get sick from the patients, I will wash my hands before and after seeing a patient. Also, after a patient leaves the exam room I will sanitize the whole room down so I don’t get sick and so no one else does either. I do think that having a policy for patients with flu is a good idea so no one else gets sick. One policy I suggest is if anyone that has the flu, they should sit in
