Cevap
The correct interventions are to don a surgical mask upon entry, keep dedicated medical equipment inside the room, and instruct all personnel to wear a gown and gloves for direct care.
The client's presentation necessitates concurrent droplet and contact/enteric precautions. Droplet precautions require staff to wear a standard surgical mask upon room entry. Contact precautions mandate the use of dedicated room equipment and require all personnel to wear a gown and gloves when providing direct care.
