Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should include the type of protective precautions taken in the client's medical record, such as airborne, droplet or contact precautions. This helps prevent transmission of infections to other clients and staff members. While the use of clean gloves, masks, and hand hygiene are all important components of protective precautions, they are not specific enough documentation to fully describe the precautions taken for the client.
