maximal barrier precaution

[rkg50]

Please help me explain to a colleague what "maximal barrier precautions" are--right now we are using just the small drapes that come in the BARD PICC kit and making a jigsaw configured sterile field--she thinks this adequate and wants to know by what standard/guideline/authority it is stated that we are required to use a full body drape--Thank you in advance for your help
