What type of linen may not be transported through areas where clean linen is stored?

Soiled linen may not be transported through areas where clean linen is stored because doing so can compromise the hygiene and safety standards of the clean linen storage area. Soiled linens are likely to contain pathogens, contaminants, or odors that can contaminate clean linen. Proper infection control practices dictate that clean and soiled linens should be handled and stored separately to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and ensure the health and safety of residents in a nursing home setting.

The focus on maintaining a sterile environment for clean linen is critical in preventing infections and upholding the overall quality of care. This separation is a key practice in nursing home management and in maintaining compliance with health regulations.
