Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider recognizes that which of the following would be most appropriate to wear when providing direct care to a client with a cough?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When providing care to a client with a cough, it is crucial to wear a mask to protect oneself from inhaling respiratory droplets containing infectious agents. The primary mode of transmission for coughs is through airborne droplets, making a mask the most appropriate choice to prevent the spread of respiratory infections. Gloves and gowns are more relevant when there is a risk of contact with bodily fluids, which is not the main concern with a cough. Shoe covers are not necessary in this scenario as the transmission of respiratory infections is not linked to footwear.
Therefore, wearing a mask is the best choice to prevent airborne transmission and ensure the safety of the healthcare provider.
