Part of Lesson Plan: Everyone Is Contagious
Activity Overview / Details
This class uses a combination of individual work, demonstration, lecture, video presentation, handout homework, and work based upon previous knowledge.
As students enter the classroom have a
full Bio Hazard Haz-Mat suit hanging on one side of the room
- (borrowed from the Sherriffs office; upon occasion you might be
able to borrow a bomb suit) and then have various common objects of
universal precautions that are used in medical situations arranged
on a table. Do not answer their inquiries regarding the objects
yet. Hand out the the enclosed crossword puzzles and ask the
students to answer as many questions as they can without
accessing their textbook (or each other), (allow 15 - 20
minutes).. At the end of that time we will correct the
puzzeles and discuss answers they may have been unclear
about.
Materials used for universal precautions
may include:
nonallergic gloves (vinal)
gown
facemask
shoe covers
eye goggles
