How to Fill Hospital Isolation Water Pitchers
- 1). Fill a plastic bag with ice water, ensuring there are no leaks.
- 2). Return to the isolation room, and don the appropriate protective equipment. This is usually an isolation gown and gloves but may include a mask.
- 3). Once inside the room, fill the patient's water pitcher from the plastic bag. Be sure to leave the water pitcher within reach of the patient before leaving the room.
- 4). Throw the bag into the designated waste receptacle for that particular room to avoid outside contamination.
- 5). At the doorway, remove the protective gear and wash your hands or use sanitizing gel.
