Which action is the most effective in reducing the transmission of infections for a client under droplet precautions?
Wear a gown to prevent splashes on clothing.
Wear facial protection to block respiratory secretions.
Rely on a shield to minimize exposure.
Use gloves to prevent contamination through contact.
Using appropriate facial protection is essential in droplet precautions because respiratory droplets, which can carry pathogens, are the primary mode of transmission. Protective barriers like masks stop the spread from respiratory secretions when in proximity to the client. Gloves are helpful for preventing direct contact transmission but are insufficient for managing droplet-borne infections. Gowns and shields protect against contamination and splashes, but they do not provide the primary protection needed to block respiratory droplets.
