The clinic nurse provides home care instructions to an adult client diagnosed with influenza. Which instructions should the nurse provide to the client? Select all that apply.

Influenza (commonly known as the flu) refers to an acute viral infection of the respiratory tract. It is a communicable disease spread by droplet infection, and measures are instituted to prevent its spread. The client is instructed to practice frequent hand washing, remain at home, and cover the nose and mouth when sneezing and coughing. Supportive measures to relieve fever and myalgia such as the use of acetaminophen are also encouraged. It is unrealistic to completely isolate oneself in a room from other family members, and there is no useful reason to use a separate bathroom because the infection is spread through droplets. Influenza immunization is administered before the start of the 'flu' season, not after developing the infection.
