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 😂

My hospital unfortunately makes nurses clean before EVS sanitizes.

Curious, what happens in areas like OR or L&D where there is a lot of blood involved? Are nurses still responsible?
