Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 65-year-old client admitted to the hospital with symptoms of productive cough, malaise, fever, joint pain, and dehydration. What type of isolation should the patient be placed on and what type of PPE should be used?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Droplet precautions with use of surgical mask and keep the door closed. This patient is presenting with symptoms typically associated with droplet-transmitted infections such as influenza. Droplet precautions involve wearing a surgical mask to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets. Keeping the door closed helps contain any droplets within the patient's room. The use of N95 masks and negative air pressure rooms are reserved for airborne precautions which are necessary for diseases like tuberculosis or measles. Contact precautions with gown and gloves are used for diseases that spread through direct contact with the patient's skin or environment.
Therefore, based on the symptoms described, the most appropriate isolation type and PPE for this patient would be droplet precautions with a surgical mask and keeping the door closed.
