Comment on: Lack of cleaning facilities hampers nurses in fight against MRSA and C diff
My grandfather has just died from C.Diff and I knew he had it at least 5 days before the ward staff. Therefore untilthey got a formal diagnosis he was still in a 4 bedded room and not being barrier nursed. Surely he should have been barrier nursed as a precaution from the moment he had loose, foul smelling, bowel movements. As I'm a nurse I knew the potential difficulties but the rest of the family didn't and one member was heavily pregnant. Definitely more education is needed for all ward staff to lessen the chance of an outbreak.
