A nurse is inspecting equipment safety in a client's home. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings requires an intervention?

A. Suctioning a client's tracheostomy tube A face shield or goggles with a mask should be worn when performing procedures that generate aerosols or splashes, such as suctioning a tracheostomy. This helps protect the nurse from exposure to respiratory secretions.
B. Emptying an indwelling urinary catheter bag This task carries a low risk of splashing, so gloves are typically sufficient. If splashing is anticipated, wearing a gown and goggles may be appropriate.
C. Inserting an IV catheter for a client who has peritonitis IV insertion does not pose a high risk of splashes or sprays, so standard precautions (gloves) are usually adequate.
D. Changing the brief of an older adult client who has a Clostridium difficile infection While contact precautions (gown and gloves) are required for C. difficile, a face shield is not necessary unless significant splashing of fecal matter is expected. Hand hygiene with soap and water (not alcohol-based hand sanitizer) is essential.

A. A nurse administers the wrong medication to a client. – This is an example of negligence, as it represents a failure to follow the standard of care, potentially causing harm to the client. Nurses are expected to follow the "five rights" of medication administration to prevent errors.
B. A nurse applies wrist restraints to a client in violation of the facility's restraint use policy. – This is an example of false imprisonment, not negligence, as it involves restricting a client’s movement without proper justification.
C. A nurse touches a client in an offensive manner. – This is an example of battery, which is the intentional act of touching someone without their consent in a harmful or offensive way.
D. A nurse shares information about a client with family members without the client's consent. – This is an example of a breach of confidentiality, violating HIPAA regulations.
