A nurse is caring for a client who has influenza and isolation precautions in place. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent the spread of infection?

Administer metronidazole.

Don protective eyewear before entering the room.

Wear a mask when working within 3 feet of the client.

Place the client in a negative airflow room.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

C. Wearing a mask when working within close proximity to the client helps prevent the transmission of respiratory droplets containing the influenza virus. This is especially important when providing direct care to the client, such as during assessments or procedures.
A. Metronidazole is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections like influenza. Administering metronidazole would not prevent the spread of influenza.
B. Protective eyewear is typically used to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens or other bodily fluids that could splash into the eyes. In the case of influenza, the primary mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets, so protective eyewear is not necessary for preventing its spread.
D. Negative airflow rooms are typically used for clients with airborne infections, such as tuberculosis, where there is a risk of droplet nuclei remaining suspended in the air for prolonged periods. Influenza is primarily spread through respiratory droplets and does not require negative airflow isolation.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale
B. Weight is a key component of the anthropometric assessment as it provides important information about the client's nutritional status, growth patterns, and overall health. Changes in weight can indicate changes in body composition, hydration status, or underlying health conditions.
A. Respiratory rate is not part of the anthropometric assessment
C. level of orientation is not part of the anthropometric assessment
D. current pain level is not part of the anthropometric assessment.

A. Ensure the client is free of metal objects. B. Monitor the client for pain in the suprapubic region. C. Assist the client with a bowel cleansing D. Administer 240 mL (8 oz) of oral contrast before the procedure.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While metal objects are generally a concern in imaging procedures like MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), they are not typically a concern for an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). IVP uses X-ray technology, and there is no magnetic field involved, so metal objects do not interfere with the imaging process.
B. Monitoring for pain in the suprapubic region is not specific preparations for an intravenous pyelogram.
C. Assisting the client with bowel cleansing is the most appropriate preparation for an intravenous pyelogram. Clearing the bowels helps ensure that the imaging of the urinary tract is not obstructed by stool or gas, providing the clearest possible images.
D. Oral contrast agents are commonly used for imaging studies such as CT scans or barium studies of the gastrointestinal tract to enhance the visualization of certain structures. However, for an IVP, contrast material is injected intravenously to visualize the urinary system, and oral contrast is not necessary.
