Transporting a patient who requires airborne precautions should be limited; however,when necessary the patient should wear a surgical mask (an N-95 respirator mask is not required)that covers the mouth and nose to prevent the spread of infection.Moreover,the department where the patient is being transported should be notified about the precautions before transport.
