A. Verifying the client’s name and date of birth
B. Checking the medication label against the MAR
C. ✅ Confirming the medication is given by the prescribed method

entering the room?
A. Gloves and gown
B. ✅ N95 respirator or powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR)
C. Surgical mask and goggles
D. Shoe covers and hair net
Rationale: Airborne precautions require an N95 or PAPR to prevent inhalation of small
