Subject :More information on Masks why should the patient wear a Surgical Mask? Answer in the Text

Answer:
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2015-117/pdfs/2015-117.pdf

This document is a "Hospital Respiratory Protection Program Toolkit."

A table on page 6 and the text in page 9, explain about how a surgical mask worn by the patient protects the healthcare provider (HCP).

Good reference to have.
