Infection Prevention will assist in testing the source patient and with testing the resident/fellow, as needed, as well as provide counseling to the exposed individual. All results will be reported by the IP directly to the healthcare associate involved. If an Infectious Disease consult is required, the IP will make the arrangements and notify the exposed individual.
