Universal precautions are an approach to infection control that assumes all patients are potentially infectious. This means that healthcare workers and others who may come into contact with bodily fluids or contaminated surfaces should take precautions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. These precautions include wearing personal protective equipment, such as gloves and masks, practicing proper hand hygiene, and properly disposing of used materials. The goal is to protect both the patient and the healthcare worker from the transmission of infectious diseases.
