Preventing Infection Control Problems

The specialty practice of infection control nursing in the corrections setting is varied and challenging. Yet the community of inmates served, the corrections environment and the unique patterns of illnesses seen respond favorably to the coordinated interventions of the IC nurse. Nurses who focus their practice in this discipline are building healing relationships across many boundaries to improve health and prevent disease for their inmate-patients, fellow employees and corrections colleagues. They do this through the application of nursing principles within the focused area of infectious disease management.
