Explanation:

Translate the scenario and options

The text translates to: "Mrs. R has just been diagnosed with measles (sarampión). She lives with her grandchildren and is worried about spreading the disease. What would you do?"

• Option 1: "Suggest that Mrs. R wear a surgical mask unless she is alone in her room."
• Option 2: "Encourage Mrs. R to cough into her elbow when she is near her family members."

Evaluate clinical protocols for measles

Measles is a highly contagious virus transmitted via the airborne route. Standard clinical protocols for airborne pathogens require infected individuals to wear a surgical mask when they must be around others to limit the dispersal of infectious aerosols. While coughing into the elbow is a good general hygiene practice, it is insufficient on its own to prevent the airborne transmission of measles to household members. Therefore, suggesting she wear a surgical mask is the primary and most effective intervention among the choices.

Answer:

• SUGIERA QUE LA SRA. R USE UNA MASCARILLA QUIRÚRGICA A MENOS QUE ESTÉ SOLA EN SU HABITACIÓN. (Correct answer)
• ANIME A LA SRA. R A TOSER EN SU CODO CUANDO ESTÉ CERCA DE LOS MIEMBROS DE SU FAMILIA.
