    A nurse is teaching a group of newly licensed nurses about measures to take when caring for a client who is on contact precautions. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Contact precautions require gown and gloves when entering the room and providing care to prevent transmission of organisms spread by direct or indirect contact. Masks are not required for contact precautions (they are required for droplet/airborne precautions). The gown must be removed before leaving the client's room, not after. Negative air pressure rooms are used for airborne precautions (e.g., tuberculosis, measles).
