    Description: This online module discusses preventative and safety measures and clinical care
    when dealing with patients who have severe acute respiratory infection (ARI). The most recent
    viral infection that is going on today is the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. Symptoms of
    COVID-19 are fever, cough, and severe respiratory distress and these patients have recently
    traveled outside the U.S to Wuhan in China. Nurses who are treating these patients must be
    careful and must maintain all standard precautions at all time, hand hygiene and respiratory
    hygiene is the most important. COVID-19 patients are placed on droplet precautions, patients are
    placed in single rooms and nurses must wear masks with face shield to and try to limit the
    amount of times they enter the room. Overall, patients who are diagnosed with ARI should be
    closely monitored and nurses and other healthcare providers should be aware of signs of ARI
    like using accessory muscle, fatigue, change in mental status, cool extremities, etc. Also, along
    with ARI healthcare providers need to monitor for signs of sepsis and what to do when patients
    are positive for sepsis. Due to the increase cases of COVID-19, it has become a pandemic and
    when there is a pandemic there should be some plan entailed and that includes increasing
    capacity response, public engagement, health system strengthening and making sure resources
    are available.
