Answer 1

The nurse should give the assistive personnel the instruction to wear a mask when caring for a client with bacterial meningitis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should give the assistive personnel the instruction to wear a mask when caring for a client with bacterial meningitis.

Bacterial meningitis is caused by the spread of bacteria, particularly through respiratory droplets. Wearing a mask can help prevent the transmission of bacteria from the assistive personnel to the client or vice versa.
