The implementation of a commode cleaning and identification system.
The epic Project guidelines (Pratt et al, 2001) state that: 'Where a piece of equipment is used for more than one patient, for example a commode, it must be cleaned following each and every episode of use.' As a ward sister and infection control link nurse in a private hospital, part of my role is to train staff about infection control and monitor standards and practice within the hospital.
