Question 3
Protective isolation (also called reverse isolation) is used to protect extremely immunocompromised patients from external pathogens. Enteric precautions are for gastrointestinal infections, respiratory for airborne respiratory pathogens, and strict isolation is for highly contagious diseases to prevent spread from patient. So the correct option is D.
Strict isolation is used for highly contagious diseases (like measles, chickenpox) and requires private rooms and masks to prevent transmission. Enteric precautions focus on contact with fecal matter, respiratory on airborne droplets (masks but not always private rooms in same way), drainage precautions for body fluids. So the correct option is C.
