An organism that is included in the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing pneumonia (ESBL) group is:

Choice A rationale

Wearing gloves and a gown when bathing a client who has open skin lesions is important to prevent the transmission of infectious agents and protect both the client and the caregiver. Open lesions are potential entry points for pathogens.

Choice B rationale

While wearing gloves when measuring blood pressure might seem like a precaution, it is unnecessary unless there is an anticipated exposure to blood or bodily fluids. Gloves are not routinely needed for measuring BP in non-infectious cases.

Choice C rationale

Using gloves to reduce the number of hand washes is not appropriate. Gloves should be worn to prevent contamination and infection, not to replace hand hygiene practices. Hand hygiene should still be performed before and after glove use.

Choice D rationale

Wearing gloves whenever in contact with clients may not be necessary for all interactions. Gloves should be worn based on the anticipated exposure to infectious materials, not indiscriminately, to avoid waste and maintain proper infection control.

Choice A rationale

Covering the patient with a clean sheet helps in preventing contamination during transport, but it is not the most critical action to prevent droplet transmission.

Choice B rationale

Wearing a gown and gloves is important for contact precautions, but droplet precautions specifically require protection from respiratory droplets.

Choice C rationale

Wearing the appropriate respiratory device is important in airborne precautions, but droplet precautions primarily require mask use.

Choice D rationale

Wearing a mask within 3 feet of the patient is crucial for droplet precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets from the infected patient.
