A nurse is providing teaching to a newly licensed nurse about secondary prevention strategies related to violence and abuse. Which of the following strategies 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 answers are Choice B, "I can receive care in the hospital or at home," Choice D, "I will receive care from a variety of interprofessional team members," and choice E, "I can discontinue hospice care whenever I want."

The client who has a terminal illness should understand that hospice care can be provided in the hospital or at home, that a variety of interprofessional team members will provide care, and that they can discontinue hospice care whenever they want. These answers are correct because they demonstrate an accurate understanding of hospice care.

Hospice care can be provided in a variety of settings, including the home or a hospital, and typically involves a team of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, social workers, and spiritual counselors, who work together to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the client and their family. Hospice care is focused on comfort and quality of life, rather than curative treatment, and clients can choose to discontinue care at any time.

Choice A is wrong because, "I will need to have private insurance because Medicare does not cover hospice services," is incorrect because Medicare does cover hospice services. Hospice care is a covered benefit under Medicare Part A, and most private insurance plans also cover hospice care.

Choice C is wrong because, "My provider will recommend that I enter hospice care when I have 1 year left to live," is incorrect because there is no set time frame for entering hospice care. Hospice care is appropriate for clients with a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by their physician, but there is no requirement that clients must have one year left to live before entering hospice care.

The correct answers are B, D, and E because they accurately reflect the nature of hospice care and the options available to clients who are receiving this type of care.
