A nurse is collecting data from a client who has an acute myocardial infarction (MI). Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to find? (Select all that apply.)

a. Droplet precautions: Droplet precautions are used for diseases that are transmitted by

respiratory droplets, such as influenza or pneumonia. HIV is not transmitted through respiratory droplets.

b. Airborne precautions: Airborne precautions are used for diseases that are transmitted through the airborne route, such as tuberculosis. HIV is not transmitted through the airborne route.

c. Standard precautions: Standard precautions are used for the care of all patients, regardless of their diagnosis. These precautions include hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed, and safe injection practices.

d. Contact precautions: Contact precautions are used for diseases that are spread by direct or indirect contact, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). HIV is not

transmitted through contact with intact skin.

a. Determine the patency of the tubing: The first action should be to assess for any obstruction or kinks in the tubing. A blockage may be preventing the flow of urine.

b. Notify the provider: While notifying the provider may be necessary, assessing the tubing for patency is a more immediate action.

c. Offer oral fluids: While hydration is important, the priority is to ensure that the urinary catheter is functioning properly.

d. Administer a prescribed analgesic: Pain management is important postoperatively, but the

immediate concern is the lack of urinary output, which requires assessment and intervention to rule out catheter obstruction.
