The nurse assigns an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to a client who has been placed on droplet precautions for a respiratory 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?

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

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

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