The histotechnician is correct when he applies which of the following precaution when dealing with another laboratory staff who coughs and sneezes in front of him?

Standard precaution
Airborne precaution
Droplet precaution
Vector precaution

Explanation

Answer: C - Droplet precaution
When someone sneezes or coughs, the droplet precaution should be applied. This is because droplets may contain microorganisms and these can be propelled for a maximum of 1 meter. When initiating this precaution, a face mask should be donned or a respirator. Other precautions do not accurately apply to this kind of situation.
