Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Chickenpox spreads by airborne transmission. Hence, airborne precautions, such as placing the client in a room that has negative airflow pressure, are followed. Wearing a mask when within 3 feet of the client is a droplet precaution, and placing the client with other clients infected with the same microorganisms and changing gloves after contact with a client's infective material are contact precautions.
