A nurse is transporting a client who has pneumonia and is on droplet precautions to radiology. Which of the following safety measures should the nurse take while transporting the client?



Correct Answer: C

The client should wear a mask during transport to prevent the spread of  infectious droplets. The nurse should wear appropriate personal protective  equipment (PPE) based on the precautions required for the specific client, which  in this case would be a mask. The nurse does not need to wear a gown as droplet  precautions do not require the use of a gown during transport.

Option A is incorrect because wearing a gown during transport is not necessary  for droplet precautions. 

Option B is incorrect because the nurse should wear a mask during transport, not  the client. 

Option D is incorrect because wearing a gown during transport is not necessary  for droplet precautions.
