When a resident starts sniffling, coughing, or “just not feeling right,” the danger may already be spreading. In long-term care, viruses move fast—and missing the early signs can turn a single cold into a facility-wide outbreak. Flu, COVID-19, RSV, and several other highly contagious viruses can sweep through a unit before anyone realizes what hit them.
This session gives you the rapid-response knowledge you need to stop an outbreak before it starts. We’ll uncover the subtle differences between these viruses, when to swab, what to isolate, and the exact steps required to stay compliant and protect your residents. Because one missed symptom today can become a full-blown infection-control disaster tomorrow.
OBJECTIVES:
- Know your responsibilities the moment cold symptoms appear.
- Distinguish flu vs. COVID-19 vs. RSV—quickly and accurately.
- Follow proper compliance steps when a resident tests positive for COVID-19.
- Prevent transmission by acting proactively, not reactively.
- Recognize other LTC viruses and the actions needed to contain them fast.
