Which situation would require airborne precautions?

Question

Accepted Answer

B and C only. Tuberculosis (TB) and chickenpox (varicella) require airborne precautions because their pathogens spread via airborne particles (droplet nuclei) that can remain suspended in the air for extended periods. Airborne precautions include a negative-pressure room and N95 respirator. Influenza (A) is transmitted via large respiratory droplets and typically requires droplet precautions, not airborne — standard seasonal influenza does not warrant airborne precautions. Selecting only B and C is correct.
