Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Urine culture and sensitivity tests typically take longer than 30 minutes to yield results.
B. While some preliminary results may be available within 24 hours, the full culture and sensitivity testing usually take longer.
C. Waiting 7-10 days for results would be excessive for a urine culture and sensitivity test.
D. Typically, it takes 48-72 hours to obtain the growth and sensitivity results for a urine culture, allowing time for bacterial growth and sensitivity testing.

A. "I will wear gloves and gown when bathing a client with open skin lesions." B. "I will wear gloves when taking blood pressures on all clients." C. "I will wear gloves, gown, and an N95 mask while caring for a client with diarrhea." D. "I will wear gloves at all times when in contact with any clients."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Standard precautions include the use of gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection, or face shields, depending on the anticipated exposure. Wearing gloves and a gown is appropriate when there is a risk of exposure to bodily fluids, which can occur when bathing a client with open skin lesions. This approach helps prevent the transmission of infections.

B. The UAP does not need to wear gloves when taking blood pressures on all clients unless there is a risk of exposure to blood or body fluids.

C. While wearing gloves, a gown, and an N95 mask may be appropriate for certain situations involving airborne precautions (e.g., tuberculosis), it is not necessary for standard precautions when caring for a client with diarrhea.

D. This is an overuse of gloves and does not align with standard precautions, which recommend using gloves only when there is or may be contact with blood, bodily fluids, secretions, excretions, contaminated items, or mucous membranes.
