A charge nurse is providing teaching to a newly licensed nurse on how to clean surfaces contaminated with blood. Which of the following agents should the nurse include in theteaching?

A.

A. Educating the client on covering the nose and mouth with tissues when coughing helps prevent the spread of tuberculosis by containing respiratory secretions.

B. A client with active tuberculosis should not return to work until they have completed a sufficient duration of treatment and are deemed non-infectious, not solely based on negative sputum cultures.

C. The client remains contagious until they have been on appropriate medication therapy for a sufficient duration and are deemed non-infectious by healthcare providers, usually after several weeks of treatment rather than just one week.

D. While wearing protective masks may be recommended for healthcare workers or individuals with compromised immune systems, it's not necessary for the client's family members unless they are in close contact with the client for an extended period.

A. Holding the newborn in an en face position: This action promotes bonding between the mother and the newborn and is a positive interaction.

B. Asking the father to change the newborn's diaper: Involving the father in caregiving tasks fosters family involvement and bonding.

C. Viewing the newborn's actions to be uncooperative: This suggests a negative perception of the newborn's behavior, which could indicate potential issues with bonding or misunderstanding

infant cues, requiring the nurse's intervention.

D. Requesting the nurse take the newborn to the nursery so she can rest: While rest is important for the mother, separating the newborn from the mother could disrupt bonding and breastfeeding, so this action should be discussed further with the client to explore other options.
