None of those are actually correct for droplet precautions. Droplet precautions include masking within 3 feet of the patient, a gown and gloves are recommended if you're likely to come into contact with bodily fluids, although that is not specific to droplet patients. Disposable utensils are not necessary.

Okay, so I am currently reviewing for my NCLEX exam. I am confused because it is stated in one of my study material that the ff are needed to do when you are initiating droplet prec:
* Surgical mask, gown, and gloves
*Disposable eating utensils
*Distance of 3 ft away from the client
Now, when I answered this in the Kaplan during a SATA question, It said that for droplet prec, you dont need disposable eating utensils.
Can anybody enlighten me on this one?
