Aug. 02 NCLEX Daily Practice Questions

The charge nurse is planning assignments for the day. Which clients will require the nursing staff to institute contact precautions? Select all that apply.






 

Explanation: Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), C difficile, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), and scabies require contact precautions to be used.

Contact precautions include

Placing client in private room (preferred) or cohorting clients with the same infection

Using dedicated equipment (must be disinfected when removing from room)

Wearing gloves when entering room

Perform proper hand hygiene before exiting room (use soap and water or alcohol- based hand rubs for MRSA and VRE, but only soap and water for C difficile and scabies)

Wearing gown with client contact and removing before leaving room

Place door notice for visitors

Having client leave room only for essential clinical reasons (ie, tests, procedures).

If an x-ray is needed, try to arrange for a portable one.

  • (Option 3) Clients with pertussis infection (whooping cough) need droplet precautions.
  • (Option 5) Influenza requires droplet precautions.

 

Educational objective:

Clients with multidrug-resistant organisms (MRSA, VRE),

C difficile diarrhea, and

scabies require nursing staff to implement contact precautions.

ABG Analysis

ABG Analysis

Mastering ABG analysis is essential for nursing practice and success on the NCLEX. Each question in this set emphasizes key concepts, including the identification of acid-base imbalances, physiological responses, and their implications for patient care. A strong grasp of these principles will enhance your ability to assess and respond effectively to patients' needs in various clinical situations.

The number of attempts remaining is 5
