A nurse is providing teaching to a 50-year-old female client. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

The correct answer is Choice A because, Double-bag soiled dressings in polyethylene bags. The nurse should double-bag soiled dressings in polyethylene bags to contain the infection and prevent the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The bags should be securely tied and labeled as contaminated.

Choice B is wrong because, Encourage the client to use a HEPA filter in the house, is not the correct answer because a HEPA filter is not effective in controlling the spread of MRSA.

Choice C is wrong because, Wear a mask when within 3 feet of the client, is not the correct answer because wearing a mask is not necessary unless the nurse is providing direct care to the client and is within 3 feet of them.

Choice D is wrong because, Remove fresh flowers from the client's home, is not the correct answer because fresh flowers are not a source of MRSA.

The correct answer is Choice D because, "State health departments report selected STIs to the National Institutes of Health." This statement indicates an understanding of the regulation regarding STI reporting, as state health departments are responsible for reporting selected STIs to the National Institutes of Health.

Choice A is wrong because, "Clients who have STIs are legally required to provide a list of sexual partners," is not correct. While it is important for clients to provide information about their sexual partners to prevent further spread of STIs, it is not a legal requirement.

Choice B is wrong because, "Congress mandates the requirements for STI reporting," is not correct. Congress does not mandate the requirements for STI reporting. It is the responsibility of state health departments to report selected STIs to the National Institutes of Health.

Choice C is wrong because, "Nurses should withhold the name of the client who has an STI during partner notification," is not correct. Nurses should not withhold the name of the client who has an STI during partner notification, as this is an important step in preventing the further spread of STIs.

Explanation: State health departments are responsible for reporting selected STIs to the National Institutes of Health. Clients are not legally required to provide a list of sexual partners, and Congress does not mandate the requirements for STI reporting. Nurses should not withhold the name of the client who has an STI during partner notification.
