A) Placing droplet and contact precaution signs on the client room door
B) Placing the client in a negative air flow room
C) Placing a ventilator in the room
D) Notifying other departments of the diagnosis
E) Using appropriate PPE


Answer: A, E

To prevent the spread of influenza, the client is placed in a private room with signs for droplet and contact precautions. It is appropriate for the healthcare workers to use appropriate PPE for these transmission-based precautions. Placing signs on the door is the way to notify other departments of precautions. Negative air flow rooms are for diseases such as chicken pox, measles, and SARS. There is no indication that this client will need a ventilator.
