Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has pertussis. Which of the following types of transmission-based precautions should the nurse initiate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Droplet precautions. Pertussis is primarily spread through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. Droplet precautions involve wearing a mask and eye protection to prevent transmission through these droplets. Airborne precautions are for diseases spread through small particles, contact precautions are for direct physical contact, and protective precautions are not a standard type of transmission-based precaution. Droplet precautions are the most appropriate choice for pertussis to prevent the spread of the infection to others.
