Cevap

Active pulmonary tuberculosis matches Airborne Precautions; C. diff matches Contact Precautions; Seasonal influenza matches Droplet Precautions; Routine vital signs for HIV matches Standard Precautions.
Matching each condition to its transmission route correctly aligns with CDC guidelines for isolation precautions: airborne for TB, contact for C. diff, droplet for influenza, and standard for routine care without body fluid exposure.
