Help with precautions

[ecp4]

I am about to pull out my hair and anyone elses if they are next to me lol...

I can not get these answers correct to save my life. I am doing a review for NCLEX and the questions that go like this: .....a nurse walks into a room wearing a gown, gloves, and mask.....what patient is she caring for.

1. You break it down as to what sort of precautions it is, correct?

Gloves- standard

Mask - airborn/droplet

Gown - contact

so any disease or illness that coincides with those precautionary measures would be the correct answer....

I can't get the right.

Also, doing Kaplan and many times these questions say the nurse is wearing a scrub suit. what the heck is a scrub suit.

Thanks,

Emma

I'm having an awful figuring out how to articulate this (fighting a migraine today)...

Don't identify the individual types of precautions, find the highest level because it includes the lower levels. As levels/types of precautions go up they are on top of the lower levels.

Respiratory isn't just the mask, it also includes the components of contact precautions (a gown) and standard precautions (gloves).

A nurse walks into a room wearing a mask, gown and gloves she's probably caring for someone on droplet/respiratory precautions.
