Universal precautions are a series of recommendations aimed
at health care providers to prevent the spread of infection
from patients to the providers or to other patients. These
recommendations should be followed to protect yourself from
infection if you are providing care to another person with
an infectious disease. Hospitals, all health care
facilities, and health care workers use universal
precautions to protect patients, themselves, and other
health care workers from the spread of infectious diseases.
