Patients visiting your office with a fever or cough should wear a surgical mask while waiting to be seen. It is important that the patient puts the mask on properly, otherwise the purpose is defeated.
The BCMA has designed an instructional poster for physician offices. The step-by-step instructions show patients how to tie and secure a surgical mask over the nose and mouth area.
Please visit www.bcma.org/files/tHiNk_H1N1_POSTERSIZE.pdf [9] (11 x 17) or www.bcma.org/files/tHiNk_H1N1_LETTERSIZE.pdf [10] (8.5 x 11) to print a copy of the poster, and display it prominently in your waiting area.
