The infection prevention coordinator is reviewing isolation protocols for a newly opened pediatric and adult infectious disease unit. Match each client's clinical presentation to the precise combination of transmission-based precautions required according to standard clinical guidelines.
- A young adult client from a university dormitory presenting with acute bilateral parotitis and feverStandard and Droplet Precautions
- An infant presenting with severe, watery diarrhea and dehydration confirmed as a rotavirus infectionStandard and Contact Precautions
- An adult client with a history of night sweats presenting with severe hoarseness and a persistent, blood-tinged coughStandard and Airborne Precautions
- A pediatric client admitted with severe pneumonia and concurrent purulent conjunctivitis, suspected to be adenovirusStandard, Droplet, and Contact Precautions
Cevap
The client with acute parotitis (mumps) pairs with Standard and Droplet Precautions. The infant with rotavirus pairs with Standard and Contact Precautions. The client with hoarseness and a blood-tinged cough (suspected laryngeal TB) pairs with Standard and Airborne Precautions. The pediatric client with suspected adenovirus pairs with Standard, Droplet, and Contact Precautions.
Correct isolation depends on the pathogen's primary and secondary modes of transmission. Mumps requires Droplet Precautions. Rotavirus requires Contact Precautions due to fecal-oral transmission. Laryngeal TB requires Airborne Precautions due to a high risk of aerosolization. Adenovirus uniquely requires a combination of Droplet and Contact Precautions.
