Final answer:

Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are needed for specific conditions related to infections, wounds, or medical devices.


Explanation:

Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) should be implemented when dealing with individuals who have specific conditions such as being infected or colonized with a CDC-targeted MDRO without certain risk factors like wounds, indwelling medical devices, or uncontrollable secretions. Additionally, EBP is necessary for individuals with wounds or indwelling medical devices that do not have uncontrollable secretions but are not known to be infected or colonized with any MDRO. Finally, those with wounds or indwelling medical devices along with uncontrollable secretions but not meeting criteria for contact precautions also require EBP.
