Cevap
The nurse should instruct the client to wear a mask during transport, wear a simple face mask when within 3 feet of the client, and perform hand hygiene after contact.
Influenza requires droplet precautions, which mandate that healthcare workers wear a simple face mask when working in close proximity (within 3 feet) of the client. Additionally, the client must wear a mask for source control when transported outside their room. Hand hygiene is a universally applied standard precaution.
