What responsibilities do Elaine and Sally have for the control of infection in their work role? 

Transcribed Image Text:

On the second day of orientation, Sally and Elaine were taken to a ward area and shown how to make a hospital bed. Both found this helpful as they had previously only used a Doona at home. At lunch, Sally and Elaine talked about their experiences and Sally confided that she was struggling sometimes to understand the language being used. Elaine showed Sally how she had written down some words and abbreviations in her notebook to help her remember. After lunch, Elaine and Sally returned to the ward area and were buddied up with John. John had been an enrolled nurse for the last three years and was keen to assist Elaine and Sally to settle into the ward. John showed Elaine and Sally the 'steri' room and the pan room or 'dirty' room and explained what was kept in each area and why items were kept separated. He tells them that they have a responsibility to follow procedures for infection control and that they need to be aware of potential hazards that they will encounter when performing their job roles.
