採集呼吸道檢體時，護理師需評估感染傳播風險。若懷疑為飛沫傳播疾病（如流感），應落實標準防護（Standard Precautions）加飛沫防護（Droplet Precautions）。採痰過程（如誘發咳嗽）極易產生飛沫，因此外科口罩與護目鏡是保護面部黏膜的必要裝備。N95 僅用於空氣傳播疾病（如肺結核）。
Collecting sputum can induce coughing, creating a risk for droplet transmission of respiratory infections. Therefore, wearing a surgical mask and eye protection is essential to safeguard the nurse's mucous membranes. N95 respirators are reserved for airborne precautions, such as tuberculosis, not standard droplet risks.
