Isolation & PPE
Match transmission route to precautions and PPE sequence.
Knowledge before quiz
Review the concept pattern, identify the risk cue, then start the short check-up.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Contact uses gown and gloves; droplet adds a mask and eye protection; airborne needs N95 plus negative pressure.
Concept 2
Donning and doffing order reduces self-contamination.
Concept 3
Dedicated equipment reduces cross-transmission.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Using a surgical mask for active TB care.
Guardrail: Use a 15-second safety pause before finalizing your action.

Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
