a) Mask and gloves

b) Gown and gloves

c) Goggles and gloves

d) Gown, gloves, and goggles

Answer 1

The nurse should bring gown, gloves, and goggles to the child's room to prevent transmission of the measles virus.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prevent transmission of the measles virus, the nurse should bring gown, gloves, and goggles to the child's room. Measles is spread through direct contact with infectious secretions or inhalation of airborne droplets. Wearing gown, gloves, and goggles provides a barrier between the nurse and the virus, reducing the risk of transmission.
