Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A patient with Clostridium difficile should be on contact precautions, not droplet; therefore, the nurse will see this patient first to correct the precautions. All the rest are on correct precautions. Patients with tuberculosis belong in airborne precautions; patients with MRSA infection belong in contact precautions; and patients with lung transplants belong in protective environment precautions.
