A respirator is a facemask that protects the nurse and client from respiratory disease transmission. Respirator mask fit testing is required before entering a practicum site. The test determines the type and size of facemask (respirator) that best protects the individual from airborne infection. Most hospitals offer Respirator Mask Fit Testing through their Occupational Health and Safety department, and several companies offer this service. Students who follow specific cultural or religious practices that have implications related to respirator fit testing are invited to speak directly with their Program Coordinator.
