The mock isolation room: a fun way to review infection control.
The Infection Control Unit of the Montreal General Hospital implemented a Mock Isolation Room that tested nurses' knowledge with a review of common medical device and isolation infractions and recommendations. Consultants reinforced correct practices and clarified misconceptions. The Mock Isolation Room is recommended as an effective review strategy that encompasses the principles of adult learning. The material was identified by the nurses as clinically relevant and the learning method was considered to be fun and effective. The exercise can also be used as a needs assessment tool.
