Question

question 7 out of 14: malia is caring for a client who has a respiratory infection. what should she do to protect herself? (click for translation) encourage the client to cover their mouth with their hand when coughing. wear a mask, if the client cannot. make the client prepare their own meals and wash their own dishes.

Explanation:

To protect herself from a client's respiratory infection, using a mask (when the client can't follow proper respiratory hygiene) is a standard infection control measure. Encouraging the client to cover with hands is less hygienic (hands can spread germs), and making the client do meals/dishes isn't a direct protection measure for respiratory infections.

Answer:

B. Wear a mask, if the client cannot.
