A nurse manager is reviewing isolation guidelines with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teachings?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: "I will have a client who is on airborne precautions wear a mask when out of her room." This statement indicates an understanding of airborne precautions, where the client should wear a mask when leaving their room to prevent the spread of infectious droplets. Placing a client with compromised immunity in a negative air pressure room (choice A) is incorrect for airborne precautions. Wearing an N95 respirator mask for a client on droplet precautions (choice B) is incorrect, as this type of mask is for airborne precautions. Instructing visitors to wear a mask for a client on contact precautions (choice C) is incorrect, as contact precautions involve wearing gloves and gowns.
