APIC provides a free, downloadable brochure, developed by Kimberly-Clark, which gives healthcare workers a brief history of respiratory infections as well as the droplet and airborne precautions necessary to contain their spread.
The brochure is titled "Your Patient has Respiratory Symptoms - So What?" and was originally developed for Infection Control Week 2004.
Download the respiratory infections brochure (pdf) for use by your facility.
