latex gloves and a face mask only.
Rationale: Influenza requires droplet (and standard) precautions — a surgical mask when within ~6 ft of the patient and gloves if contact with secretions is likely. Gowns and eye protection are used only if there is anticipated contact with blood/secretions or risk of splashes.
