Question

which are the names of the transmission - based precautions defined by the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc)? select all that apply. contact precautions body fluid precautions respiratory precautions airborne precautions microbial precautions droplet precautions

Explanation:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines transmission - based precautions as additional precautions beyond standard precautions. Contact precautions are for diseases spread by direct or indirect contact. Airborne precautions are for diseases spread by very small particles (aerosols) that can remain in the air for long periods. Droplet precautions are for diseases spread by large respiratory droplets (not as small as aerosols). Body fluid precautions, respiratory precautions (a more general term that doesn't specifically fit the CDC's defined transmission - based categories in this context), and microbial precautions are not the specific named transmission - based precautions by the CDC.

Answer:

contact precautions, airborne precautions, droplet precautions
