Was I exposed?
I am a nurse and the last 2 days, I have cared for a patient in a double room. The other patient was having diarrhea and was tested for GI bugs so we moved my patient out yesterday. I found out overnight that the sick patient tested positive for norovirus. I haven’t been able to calm down since. I have OCD and am medicated on Zoloft and just increased my dose this week. A number one side effect of the increase is high anxiety, spiraling thoughts, and restlessness. Was this an exposure if I was in the room as somebody that is sick? He never vm’d, only symptom is diarrhea
