A patient is in droplet precautions for influenza. Which action is most important for preventing transmission?

Question

Accepted Answer

Keep the patient's door closed and wear a mask when within 3-6 feet. Droplet precautions require a mask for close contact (within 3-6 feet) and keeping the door closed. Patients don't wear respirators; healthcare workers do. Negative pressure is for airborne precautions. Complete visitor restriction is too strict for droplet precautions; visiting is allowed with precautions.
