A client with influenza is admitted to the medical unit. The nurse observes an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) preparing to enter the client's room to take vital signs and assist with personal care. The UAP has applied gloves and a gown. Which action should the nurse take?
In the context of influenza, especially during flu seasons, wearing a fitted respirator mask is recommended for healthcare personnel to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets.
Instructing the UAP to notify the nurse of respiratory status changes is important but doesn't address the immediate need for proper respiratory protection.
Assigning the UAP to another client is not necessary if proper precautions are followed. The focus should be on correcting the current situation.
Reviewing the need for the UAP to wear a face mask is insufficient; a fitted respirator mask is more appropriate for respiratory illnesses like influenza.

Choice B rationale: Instructing the UAP to notify the nurse of respiratory status changes is important but doesn't address the immediate need for proper respiratory protection.
Choice C rationale: Assigning the UAP to another client is not necessary if proper precautions are followed. The focus should be on correcting the current situation.
