An unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is assigned to feed a client who has received a prescription to institute droplet precautions for a bacterial meningitis infection. The UAP requests a change in assignment, reporting having not yet been fitted for a particulate filter mask. Which action should the nurse take?

Advise the UAP to wear a standard face mask to obtain vital signs, and then get fitted for a filter mask before providing personal care.

Send the UAP to be fitted for a particulate filter mask Immediately so the UAP can provide care to this client.

Instruct the UAP that a standard face mask is sufficient to be able to provide care for the assigned client.

Before changing assignments, determine which staff members have fitted particulate filter masks.
