Hi Lesley,
Considering these are two of the highest risk population groups (to acquire and transmit infection), I would say this is not in the best interest of these patient groups.Many chronic renal/HD patients are colonised with MRSA & VRE so the potential risk is huge.
Mixing the two cohort populations could be fraught with contamination and cross-infection problems..
Certainly something that would raise possible questions, and rightly so.Timothy R. Spencer, RN, APN, DipAppSci, Bach.Health, ICCert, VA-BC.
