Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
Contact precautions are a type of isolation precaution used for patients with illness that can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Patients who are on contact precautions should have dedicated equipment wherever possible. This would mean, for example, that one blood pressure cuff and one stethoscope would stay in the room with the patient and would be used for that patient only. A gown and gloves may be required for interactions with a patient who is on contact precautions. A face mask and goggles are not part of contact precautions. A room with negative airflow is needed for patients placed on airborne precautions; it is not necessary for a patient on contact precautions. When a patient on contact precautions needs to be transported, the patient should wear clean gown, and hands cleaned, and the infectious material is contained or covered.
