Cevap
The nurse should don a surgical mask when providing direct care, place a surgical mask on the client during essential transport, and maintain the precautions until 24 hours of effective antibiotics have been administered.
Neisseria meningitidis is spread via large respiratory droplets. Appropriate droplet precaution interventions include the nurse wearing a surgical mask during close contact, ensuring the client wears a mask during any required transport to contain secretions, and maintaining these precautions until the client has received 24 hours of effective antimicrobial therapy.
