- Transmission-Based Precautions (Contact, Droplet, Airborne) are additional measures used for known or suspected infections.
- Contact Precautions, for pathogens like MRSA and C. diff, require a gown and gloves.
- Droplet Precautions, for illnesses like influenza, require a surgical mask when working within three feet of the patient.
- Airborne Precautions, for diseases like tuberculosis and measles, mandate a fit-tested N95 respirator and a negative-pressure room.
