Two weeks after returning home from traveling, a client presents to the clinic with conjunctivitis and describes a recent loss in the ability to taste and smell. The nurse obtains a nasal swab to test for COVID-19. Which action is most important for the nurse to take?

Move the client to a private room, keep the door closed, and initiate droplet precautions.

Place the nasal swab specimen for COVID-19 directly into a biohazard bag.

Assist the client to recall everyone possibly exposed since the onset of symptoms.

Teach the client to wear a mask, hand wash, and social distance to prevent spreading the virus.
