Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
And of course, we have our own medical centre policies and procedures for therapy dogs in the facility and so we want to make sure they're following those procedures and then they're compliant with our programme manual that we provide for them so that we have the standardised programme. So, where do the dogs visit? Just about everywhere, throughout the facility except patients who are on contact precautions or in a sterile environment unless physician approval is documented, and occasionally we do have physicians who say, you know, the benefits far outweigh the risk for this patient. I want the dog visit, but when that occurs, of course we need that in riding in the patient's chart. So, patients who have active infections, those who have Ivy's, those who have open wounds, same thing, they don't visit unless the physician documentation is in the chart. Obviously, we can't go in the operating room, but we do have physicians call and say, you know, I've got a special needs child here and he's terrified about dental surgery. Can you come and help? And the dog will be with the patient and pre op and with him right to the door of the operating suite. And we have found that it really has been helpful in calming patients, in helping them reduce the anxiety that they have about a major surgery procedure that they're going to have.

According to the speaker, in which situations are therapy dogs allowed to visit patients, and what is required for such visits?

AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Option 1: "Patients with active infections, with physician approval documented in the chart"

Explanation: The text states that therapy dogs can visit patients with active infections only if there is physician documentation in the patient's chart. This aligns with the speaker's emphasis on compliance with medical policies.

Option 2: "In the operating room, when the patient is a special needs child"

Explanation: The text explicitly mentions that therapy dogs cannot go into the operating room, regardless of the patient's needs. This option contradicts the information provided.

Option 3: "Patients with open wounds, with physician approval documented in the chart"

Explanation: Similar to option 1, the text indicates that therapy dogs can visit patients with open wounds only if there is documented physician approval. This is consistent with the speaker's explanation of the policies.

Option 4: "Patients in a sterile environment, without any physician approval"

Explanation: The text clearly states that therapy dogs cannot visit patients in a sterile environment unless there is documented physician approval. This option misrepresents the requirements.

Option 5: "In the pre-op area, when helping a patient with dental surgery anxiety"

Explanation: While the text mentions that therapy dogs can help calm patients before surgery, it does not specify that they are allowed in the pre-op area without restrictions. This option lacks the necessary context regarding physician approval.
