The correct answer is number: 1
Clients who have herpes simplex infections must have contact precautions in addition to standard precautions because of the associated, potentially weeping, skin lesions. Contact precautions are used for clients who are infected by microorganisms that are transmitted by direct contact with the client, including hand or skin-to-skin contact.
Just a reminder that I am looking for someone to take over the posting of the Question of the Week.
It is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to step into the virtual world of blogging and contribute to the success of other students. Posting takes less than 5 minutes each week.
I will happily walk you through the process step by step if needed.
