1. true or false: standard precautions are the minimum practices for infection prevention.

Explanation:

• For question 4: N - 95 respirators are specifically required for airborne precautions as they filter out very small particles (like those in airborne diseases such as tuberculosis). Contact precautions mainly focus on preventing contact with patient's skin or contaminated surfaces (use gloves, gowns etc.), droplet precautions (for particles larger than 5 microns, use surgical masks), and standard precautions are general (hand hygiene etc.).
• For question 5: Standard precautions are indeed the minimum set of infection - prevention practices that apply to all patient care, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status.
