ip-' ISSUED BY THE OEPT. OF HEALTH SCARLET FEVER Important Advice, Part 2 Part oim of our advice dealt with how to dodge Scarlet Fever. In cate you fail to dodge it-here ii what to do. Unless there It safe nursing, the fever will spread. Have a separate room or veranda for the patient. Have what are called “clean” and "contaminated” areas in the room. There should be a small table or washstand for the nurse’s wash basin, towel and soap, and a special cupboard or box for the patient’s wash bowl, tooth brush and mug, and for a bedpan if needed. Keep the thermometer immersed (and out of reach) for two-thirds of its length in cyllin, M 60. S«t aside a special mop or broom and duster for the sick-room, and damp-sweep and damp-dust floor and furniture. Have an overall or gown hung on the back of the door-don this gown and cover the hair with a cap when entering the room. After attending to the patient, scrub hands and arms for one minute In hot water—remove the gown without touchily the outside until the arms are out (the district nurse will shew you how if you ask her)-hang up the gown, and rescrub theliands and arms for another minute. ' Any utensils should now be emptied and returned to the room. Btd linen—Unstajned bed linen should go straight to the boiler, 4 to soak or be boiled, or remain In Its container untouched until wash-day; stained bed linen should be soaked In antiseptic (cyllin, 1-80) for four hours. Squares of newspaper fastened at one corner into bundles should hang in the “clean” area of the room, for opening doors or handling clean utensils after the hands are contaminated, pill a hot water bag by bringing a Jug of hot water to the room, protect the jug handle with a square of paper, and Dll the bag. ; Place Jug in the “clean” area, and wash hands. Feeding utensils should be scraped on to a paper and placed In a bowl of cold water, and then, boiled for five minutes; or alternately, placed In a bowl kept for the purpose and washed. Patient’s dishes, tea-towel and dishcloth must be kept separate. After these operations, and after any procedure in the sick room, always wash the hands thoroughly. By following these Instructions, Scarlet Fever can be Isolated within your own home.
