I also have a question about infection control. For droplet and airborne, is it mask/N95 respirator plus gown and gloves? That's how I saw it done in the clinical settings, but I was not sure if this is the case in the NCLEX

Airborne precaution- n95 mask

Droplet precaution- face mask such as a surgical mask.
