We have a small burn unit here, combined with our trauma ICU.  We usually t/f patients with > 30% BSAB.  What the nursing staff is wondering is whether dressing changes necessarily require the nurse to change into hospital scrubs AND put on full isolation gear.  I'm not able to find any research on the question.  Could someone help me with opinions and/or references please?
 
Thanks in advance
