Explanation:

To prevent the spread of infection from an isolated - patient's used linen, it should be placed in a designated linen bag in the patient's room without shaking to avoid aerosolizing pathogens. Spraying with disinfectant before removal may not be practical and could expose staff to chemicals. Rinsing in the sink is unhygienic and can contaminate the sink area. Shaking out vigorously can release pathogens into the air.
