The client who is experiencing avian influenza should be on both airborne and contact isolation.Standard antibiotic agents would be ineffective with this disease process,as would most of the standard antiviral medications commonly used for influenza.Human-to-human contact through family members is likely only in very close living arrangements,so only specific members of the client's family should consider diagnostic testing.
