D. Standard precautions
Standard precautions are the basic level of infection control that should be used in the care of all patients all of the time. These precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms from both recognized and unrecognized sources of infection. The concept not only includes hand hygiene but also the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), proper handling of patient care equipment and linens, environmental control, prevention of needle-stick injuries, and a range of other infection control practices.
