A nurse is collecting data from a newborn who was born 24 hrs ago. Which of the following images should the nurse identify as an indication that the newborn has erythema toxicum?

A. A client who is displaying aggression: Using a gait belt on an aggressive client is unsafe because sudden movements or resistance could lead to injury for both the client and the caregiver. Aggressive behavior requires de-escalation strategies before considering physical assistance or mobility interventions like a gait belt.

B. A client who has had chest trauma: Gait belts should be avoided in clients with chest trauma because the pressure applied around the torso can exacerbate injuries such as rib fractures, pulmonary contusions, or other thoracic complications, posing significant health risks during mobilization.

C. A client who has limited arm strength: A gait belt is appropriate for clients with limited arm strength because it provides secure support around the waist without requiring the client to rely heavily on their upper limbs. It allows for safer ambulation and transfer by offering the caregiver a firm point of control.

D. A client who has a thoracic incision: Applying a gait belt over or near a thoracic incision can interfere with wound healing, cause pain, and increase the risk of wound dehiscence. Alternative methods for assisting mobility should be used for clients with fresh surgical sites in the thoracic region.

A. Handling cat feces: Toxoplasmosis is most commonly transmitted through exposure to Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite found in cat feces. Handling contaminated litter, soil, or sand without proper hygiene can lead to infection, making this the correct response.

B. Drinking contaminated water: While contaminated water can transmit various infections, toxoplasmosis is primarily associated with exposure to cat feces or undercooked meat, not typically with drinking water.

C. Eating shellfish: Eating shellfish can expose individuals to other types of infections, such as hepatitis A or certain bacterial infections, but it is not a known source of toxoplasmosis.

D. Touching body fluids: Toxoplasmosis is not spread through casual contact with body fluids like saliva, blood, or urine. It is mainly transmitted through ingestion of the parasite from contaminated sources.
