Where infectious diseases are the issue, there is no difference between universal precautions and standard precautions. The suite of procedures called "universal precautions" should now be the standard precautions used in all cases of patient contact.

The rational standard for precautions refers to a decision-making framework used to determine what measures are reasonable and appropriate to prevent harm. It considers factors such as the likelihood of harm occurring, the severity of potential harm, and the costs and feasibility of implementing precautions. Essentially, it aims to balance the risks involved with the benefits of taking preventive actions, ensuring that precautions are proportional to the potential threat. This standard is often applied in legal contexts to assess negligence and liability.
