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, stating she has not yet been fitted for a particulate filter mask. Which action should the nurse take?

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.

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

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.
