A nurse is creating a plan of care for a school-age child who has varicella. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?

Changing linens daily helps reduce the risk of secondary infection from the varicella lesions. Varicella is not treated with antibiotics (it is viral), so there is no 24-hr visitor restriction related to antibiotics. Varicella requires airborne precautions (not just droplet) due to the airborne nature of the virus. Aspirin is contraindicated in children with varicella due to the risk of Reye's syndrome — acetaminophen is used instead.
