She learns that both patients live in the same unit, eat in the same dining hall, are diabetic, and receive blood glucose monitoring. Ms. Brown knows that the hepatitis B virus can be transmitted by blood, so she decides to observe the nurse performing glucose monitoring. She sees that the nurse used a penlet device to secure the lancets that are used on the residents and that all residents have their own glucometer.
