The correct interventions are placing the client in a standard private room, wearing a standard surgical mask upon entry, and applying a surgical mask to the client during transport.
Rubella (German measles) is transmitted via large respiratory droplets, requiring droplet precautions. Appropriate interventions include placing the client in a standard private room, wearing a surgical mask upon entry, and applying a surgical mask to the client if they must leave the room. Standard precautions, including routine hand hygiene with either alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water, also apply.
