A charge nurse is evaluating the implementation of infection control measures by unit nurses when caring for clients who have Clostridium difficile. The charge nurse should intervene for which of the following actions by a unit nurse?

Choice A reason: This is the correct choice because an evidence-based nursing journal is a reliable and credible source of information that is based on research and best practices. A nurse can use an evidence-based nursing journal to find current and accurate data on the prevalence of Tay-Sachs disease, as well as the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the disease.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct choice because the client's health care provider is not a resource that the nurse should use to obtain information about the prevalence of Tay-Sachs disease. The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and privacy and not contact the client's health care provider without the client's consent. The nurse should also avoid relying on the health care provider's opinion or knowledge, which may not be up to date or consistent with the evidence.

Choice C reason: This is not the correct choice because the facility's case manager is not a resource that the nurse should use to obtain information about the prevalence of Tay-Sachs disease. The case manager's role is to coordinate the client's care and services, not to provide information or education on specific diseases. The case manager may not have the expertise or the access to the relevant information that the nurse needs.

Choice D reason: This is not the correct choice because a collaborative, user-edited website is not a resource that the nurse should use to obtain information about the prevalence of Tay-Sachs disease. A collaborative, user-edited website, such as Wikipedia, is not a reliable or credible source of information, as anyone can edit or add content without verification or peer review. The information on such a website may be outdated, inaccurate, biased, or incomplete.

Choice A reason: This is not the correct choice because this response is insensitive and unprofessional. The nurse should not blame or criticize the client for signing the consent form, as this may make the client feel guilty or pressured. The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and right to change their mind.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct choice because this response is inadequate and irrelevant. The nurse should not assume that the client needs more information about the surgery, as this may not address the client's underlying reasons for being unsure. The nurse should listen to the client's concerns and provide emotional support.

Choice C reason: This is the correct choice because this response is respectful and reassuring. The nurse should acknowledge the client's feelings and let them know that they have the option to cancel the surgery if they are not comfortable with it. The nurse should also inform the provider and the surgical team about the client's situation and facilitate further discussion if needed.

Choice D reason: This is not the correct choice because this response is inappropriate and unethical. The nurse should not offer medication to the client to help them relax, as this may impair their decision-making capacity and consent. The nurse should not coerce or manipulate the client to undergo the surgery.
