Final answer:

The appropriate precautions for pertussis, influenza, and tuberculosis are identified.


Explanation:

Pertussis: Droplet Precaution in addition to standard precautions is used for pertussis due to respiratory droplets containing the bacteria being expelled when coughing or sneezing.

Influenza: Droplet Precaution is necessary as the influenza virus is spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes.

Tuberculosis: Airborne Precaution should be added to standard precautions for tuberculosis due to the bacteria being transmitted through the air in respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
