The nursing students in this study demonstrated inadequate knowledge on IPC, more specifically transmission based precautions, a finding consistent with those of previous studies [ 13, 21, 23].
The notion that increased infection transmission occurred despite these isolation precautions is not consistent with the literature suggesting the central role of gloves, gowns, and surgical masks in preventing transmission (4 ).
The low level of knowledge in relation to transmission-based precautions observed in our study is consistent with the findings in the literature [ 19, 30].
The EPA told the AP the security precautions during Pruitt's Italy trip were consistent with those of previous administrators.
The observed improvement in compliance with infection control precautions when a coloured cue was present is consistent with existing evidence on the importance of colour in the communication of information [ 33].
Estimates of the effectiveness of barrier precautions showed considerable uncertainty, but in all units except burns/general surgery and one cardiac surgery ICU, the best estimates were consistent with reductions in transmission associated with barrier precautions.
Be consistent with any skin care routine.
This is consistent with findings in previous research reporting that information on precautions, side effects, interactions, contraindications, and storage is less likely to be given by community pharmacists [ 7, 12, 13, 17, 18].
This classification of women into two distinct groups is consistent with stage theories of health behaviour (for example, the Precaution Adoption Process Model (Weinstein et al, 2008)).
These findings are consistent with our practical experience that the public understanding of precaution is the need to adopt measures to avoid a real (perhaps low probability) potential harm.
