A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is perimenopausal.
Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A rationale

Using disinfectant to clean the blood pressure cuff after use is an appropriate infection control measure. It reduces the risk of cross-contamination between clients by ensuring medical equipment is sanitized.

Choice B rationale

Double-bagging a client's linens each day is not necessary unless the linens are heavily soiled or contaminated with pathogens. Routine double-bagging is not an effective infection control practice and is resource-intensive.

Choice C rationale

Wearing sterile gloves when bathing a client who is incontinent is unnecessary. Non-sterile gloves are sufficient for this task, and sterile gloves should be reserved for surgical or invasive procedures to maintain sterility.

Choice D rationale

Rinsing contaminants from a bedpan with hot water can create aerosols that spread pathogens. Proper protocol involves cleaning and disinfecting the bedpan with appropriate solutions to ensure infection control. .

Choice A rationale

Stating that the client's condition is stable right now is a breach of patient confidentiality and does not comply with privacy regulations.

Choice B rationale

Telling the employer that the nurse will inform the client about the call is also a breach of confidentiality, as it implies that the client is indeed there.

Choice C rationale

Responding with "I cannot confirm or deny that we have a client by that name" is an appropriate and professional way to protect patient confidentiality and comply with privacy laws.

Choice D rationale

Stating that the client is in the hospital but not providing further details still reveals the client's location, which breaches patient confidentiality and privacy regulations. .
