What is true about universal precautions?

Use only with clients presenting symptoms of virus or disease
Use only with clients without any symptoms of illness
Use with all clients regardless of symptoms
Use with healthy clients only

The correct answer is: Use only with clients presenting symptoms of virus or disease

Universal precautions are safety guidelines designed to protect both healthcare workers and patients from potential transmission of bloodborne pathogens and infectious diseases. While it may seem reasonable to limit these precautions to only those clients showing obvious signs of illness, it is important to understand that many infectious diseases can be present without obvious symptoms. Therefore, universal precautions must be used with all clients to ensure their safety and prevent the spread of illnesses. Limiting these precautions to only those who appear sick may lead to the unintentional spread of infectious diseases. Using universal precautions with all clients, regardless of symptoms, is the safest and most effective approach.
