Diseases that require droplet precautions include which of the following?

  1. Rubella only

  2. Rubella and mumps only

  3. Mumps and influenza only

  4. Rubella, mumps, and influenza

The correct answer is: Mumps and influenza only

Droplet precautions are essential for controlling the spread of infectious diseases that can be transmitted via respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Diseases that require droplet precautions include rubella, mumps, and influenza. Rubella is highly contagious and can spread through respiratory droplets, highlighting the need for specific precautions to avoid outbreaks. Similarly, mumps is also transmitted through droplets, and influenza spreads easily through respiratory secretions. When looking at the correct choice, it includes all three diseases that are known to necessitate droplet precautions. The other options fail to acknowledge one or more of these key diseases. Therefore, the comprehensive inclusion of rubella, mumps, and influenza reflects a correct understanding of the diseases that require droplet precautions.
