Question 2 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: Pertussis spreads via respiratory droplets, requiring masks and private rooms to prevent transmission. Airborne precautions are for smaller particles, and protective precautions are for immunocompromised patients.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse working on a medical unit is completing the admission of a client who reports a severe allergy to penicillin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
