A nurse is planning care for a child who has mumps. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the plan?

Rationale: A. Airborne precautions are required for diseases like tuberculosis, measles, and varicella, not mumps. B. Mumps is transmitted by respiratory secretions, making droplet precautions necessary to prevent spread. C. Standard precautions alone are insufficient, as mumps spreads through droplets. D. Contact precautions are needed for illnesses spread by direct contact with secretions or contaminated surfaces, but droplet precautions are the priority for mumps.
