A nurse is caring for a client who requires contact precautions. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: Dedicate equipment and supplies for use with the client. This is essential for preventing the spread of infection. By dedicating equipment to the client, the nurse reduces the risk of contaminating other clients. Choice A is incorrect because wearing a mask is not necessary for contact precautions unless respiratory droplets are a concern. Choice B is irrelevant to contact precautions. Choice C is incorrect as allowing the client to leave the room frequently can increase the risk of spreading infection.
