1. airborne precautions

tuberculosis

1. droplet precautions

influenza
pertussis
question 18 (2 points)
patients who are severely immune compromised and highly susceptible to infection
are placed in which isolation environment?
contact
reverse
droplet
airborne

Explanation:

Matching Precautions to Diseases:

• Cellulitis: Contact precautions (1) (spread via direct contact with infected skin).
• Measles: Airborne precautions (2) (spread via airborne droplets/nuclei).
• Impetigo: Contact precautions (1) (spread through direct contact with sores).
• Tuberculosis: Airborne precautions (2) (spread via airborne droplet nuclei).
• Influenza: Droplet precautions (3) (spread via large respiratory droplets).
• Pertussis: Droplet precautions (3) (spread via respiratory droplets).

Question 18:

Severely immune - compromised patients are placed in reverse isolation. Reverse isolation is used to protect these patients from external pathogens as their immune system is weak. So the correct option is Reverse.
