Cevap
The correct actions include removing the N95 respirator outside the room for a client with disseminated herpes zoster, placing a standard surgical mask on a client with tuberculosis during transport, and leaving dedicated medical equipment in the room of a client with rotavirus.
Correct infection control practices involve removing an N95 respirator outside an airborne isolation room to prevent inhalation of suspended particles. Furthermore, providing a standard surgical mask for a client with tuberculosis during transport effectively contains their respiratory secretions, and utilizing dedicated equipment for a client with rotavirus appropriately minimizes the risk of indirect contact transmission.
