Explanation:

• Communicating with the health care team ensures everyone is aware of precautions, which is crucial for safety.
• Placing a mask on the client helps prevent the spread of airborne pathogens like those causing SARS.
• Refusing to transport the client is not a valid option as the client may need the radiology procedure for diagnosis/treatment.
• Preparing the transport stretcher with a clean sheet is a standard hygiene practice.
• Covering the client with a sheet during transport is not a specific intervention for airborne precautions (a mask is more relevant for that aspect).

Answer:

communicate about precautions with the health care team, place a mask on the client, prepare the transport stretcher with a clean sheet
