Influenza is a disease that is spread by droplets. Hence, the nurse should follow Droplet Precautions for clients with influenza. The nurse should follow Contact Precautions for clients with illnesses that spread through contact transmission. Examples of illnesses that spread by contact transmission include drug-resistant gastroenteritis; respiratory, skin, and wound infections; hepatitis A; herpes simplex virus; impetigo; scabies; and pediculosis. The nurse should follow Airborne Precautions for clients with illnesses that spread through airborne transmission. Tuberculosis (TB), measles, and chickenpox are examples of airborne-transmitted infections. Clients who must be protected from the outside environment and need to be shielded from others' microorganisms are kept in protective isolation.

Tests are done to determine the efficiency of the kidneys or to examine the urine for abnormalities. By using the clean-catch or midstream method, a specimen is obtained with minimal contamination from external sources without inserting a sterile catheter. A single-voided urine specimen often is ordered. An accumulated quantity of urine gives more detailed information than does a single specimen because the accumulated specimen better shows the type and quantity of wastes being excreted by the kidneys. The urine is usually collected for 24 hours or for some part of that period, depending on the specific order. The most fractional urine is for a 6-hour period.
