- A nurse removes their N95 respirator in the anteroom after exiting and closing the door to the room of a client with disseminated varicella-zoster.Cevap
Cevap
The correct actions involve wearing a surgical mask for pertussis (droplet precautions), dedicating equipment for MRSA (contact precautions), and removing the N95 respirator outside the room for disseminated varicella (airborne precautions).
Appropriate infection control practices mandate droplet precautions (surgical mask) for Bordetella pertussis, contact precautions (dedicated disposable or room-restricted equipment) for MRSA, and removing an N95 respirator only after safely exiting a negative-pressure room for a client with an airborne disease like disseminated varicella.
