Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protective precautions require a positive-pressure room. No live plants, fresh flowers, fresh raw fruit or vegetables, sushi, or blue cheese may be brought into the room because they may harbor bacteria and fungi. Special masks are not required. The patient cannot eat just any foods because some are restricted.
