The client who has been in contact with a person with SARS in the last 10 days and did not wear protection would be immediately quarantined and the local public health department would be notified. This is because SARS is highly contagious and can spread rapidly. The other options do not necessarily indicate SARS and may require further assessment or monitoring.
