Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transmission-based precautions are specifically designed for clients with suspected or confirmed infections that are spread in one of several ways: airborne, droplet, or contact. These precautions are beyond standard precautions and are tailored based on the disease's mode of transmission. Clients with suspected infectious diseases (choice D) would require these precautions to prevent the spread of the disease to others. Choices A, B, and C do not specifically indicate that the diseases are infectious or how they are transmitted, which is crucial for determining the need for transmission-based precautions.
