A nurse is teaching a class about infection control to a group of nurses. The nurse should identify which of the following diseases as requiring the implementation of droplet precautions?

A. Screen the child's visitors for active infections. Neutropenia places the child at high risk for infection due to a severely weakened immune system. Screening visitors for signs of illness is essential to minimize exposure to infectious agents.
B. Prepare the child for a platelet transfusion. Platelet transfusions are used to treat thrombocytopenia, not neutropenia. While leukemia may cause both conditions, neutropenia specifically increases infection risk, not bleeding risk.
C. Monitor the child for indications of active bleeding. While bleeding is a concern in leukemia, it is more directly linked to low platelet levels. The priority intervention for neutropenia is infection prevention, not bleeding control.
D. Initiate a low-protein diet for the child. A low-protein diet is not appropriate for a child with leukemia. These children need adequate protein for healing, immune support, and maintaining strength during treatment.

A. Ham sandwich with milk. Ham is pork, which is strictly forbidden in kosher diets. Additionally, kosher law prohibits mixing meat and dairy in the same meal, making this option doubly inappropriate.
B. Bacon and cheese quiche with milk. Bacon is derived from pork and is non-kosher. The combination of meat (if using real bacon) and dairy (cheese and milk) also violates kosher dietary restrictions.
C. Shrimp salad and tomato soup with milk. Shellfish like shrimp are not kosher and are strictly avoided. Even though tomato soup and milk may be acceptable, the presence of shrimp makes this tray non-compliant with kosher laws.
D. Scrambled eggs and toast with milk. Eggs are permitted in a kosher diet as long as they do not contain blood spots, and dairy products like milk are also allowed. Since this meal contains no meat or non-kosher items, it aligns with kosher guidelines.
