Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the CDC, airborne precautions for patients that may be currently infected with a pathogen transmitted via the air requires the patient to wear a mask, the room to be placed in airborne infection isolation protocol, access to the patient's room be restricted from those susceptible to contracting said pathogen, and healthcare personnel entering this room to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) which includes an N95 respirator or a higher level respirator such as a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). The latter is given to patients with facial hair, those who are not properly fitted for N95 respirator, and those who prefer the full hood over the mask option.
