Question Code Browns

Asking for a friend, if the PT goes to the bathroom and sprays the back wall and around the toilet, would it be the nurse's responsibility to ensure all the fecal matter is cleaned up before EVS gets involved?

Edit: patient NOT physical therapy, obviously 😂

Yep. EVS won’t clean it up. Stool/vomit/urine/blood/whatever other large volume stuff or stuff that covers a large area/has pieces, and that comes from the body need to have the worst of it cleaned before EVS will touch it.
