A nurse is planning interventions for a client to improve their physical wellbeing. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to do? (Select All that Apply.)

A. While placing the client in a room within view of the nurses' station might allow for closer monitoring, it does not address the specific infection control requirements needed for a patient with active TB. TB is an airborne pathogen, so simply placing the room near the nurses' station does not prevent the spread of TB germs to other patients or staff.
B. This option is not specifically appropriate for TB unless the client requires intensive monitoring or care that cannot be provided on a general medical-surgical unit. The ICU is not designed specifically for airborne isolation and does not offer the specialized ventilation required for managing TB patients.
C. For a patient with active TB, the room should have specialized ventilation to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens. A room with air exhaust directly to the outdoor environment is ideal for TB patients as it ensures that the airborne particles are effectively removed from the healthcare environment, minimizing the risk of transmission to others.
D. Tuberculosis is an airborne infection, so placing a TB patient in a room with another client, regardless of whether they are nonsurgical, poses a risk of transmission. TB requires a single-patient room with proper ventilation to prevent the spread of the disease to other patients and staff.

A. This task is generally appropriate for an assistive personnel (AP) if it is within their scope of practice and if proper training has been provided. Glucometer monitoring is a routine task that APs can often perform, assuming they are trained in using the glucometer and understanding the importance of accurate readings.

B. Assigning two APs to ambulate all clients might be seen as overdelegation if the task requires more clinical judgment or if there are other tasks that need to be managed concurrently. Ambulating clients can sometimes be complex depending on their condition, and it’s essential to ensure that APs are appropriately trained and that the workload is balanced.
C. Assigning a new graduate nurse to perform a wet-to-dry dressing change could be considered overdelegation if the task requires advanced skills and experience that the new graduate might not yet possess. Wet-to-dry dressing changes can be complex and require a certain level of expertise to ensure proper technique and patient safety.
D. This task is typically appropriate for an RN with the necessary competencies and experience. A central line dressing change requires specific skills and knowledge, and delegating this task to the most competent RN ensures that it is performed correctly and safely. This is not considered overdelegation because it matches the task to the skill level of the RN.
