Droplet precautions
Topic: Infection control
Precautions for infections spread by large respiratory droplets that travel only a short distance when a person coughs, sneezes or talks, such as influenza, pertussis, mumps and meningococcal disease. Place the client in a single room or apart from others, and wear a surgical mask on entering. If the client must leave the room, they wear a surgical mask. No special ventilation is needed.
