Question

question 5 (1 point)
which precaution is used to control the spread of gas gangrene?
a) enteric precautions
b) respiratory precautions
c) strict isolation
d) drainage and secretion precautions

Explanation:

Gas gangrene is caused by bacteria (like Clostridium) that can spread through contact with infected wounds, drainage, or secretions. Strict isolation (option C) is used to prevent the spread as the infection can be transmitted via direct contact with the patient's wounds, drainage, etc. Enteric precautions are for gastrointestinal infections, respiratory for airborne respiratory pathogens, and drainage/secretion is not a standard precaution category in this context.

Answer:

C) Strict isolation
