Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transmission-based precautions are determined by the illness and mode of transmission. The minimum required for Contact Precautions is donning gloves and a gown when entering the room. Nurses always use Standard Precautions for every client, no matter what other type of precautions the client is on. Nurses put on a mask when entering the room of a client on Droplet Precautions if close contact with the client is expected, such as when taking vital signs. When a client has two (or more) levels of Transmission-based Precautions, nurses correctly maintain compliance with all types. While private rooms are preferred for clients on Transmission-Based Precautions, cohorting clients with the same infectious agent is acceptable. Immunity is an important consideration for nurses caring for clients on Airborne Precautions.
