The nurse is providing care to a patient who has tested positive for tuberculosis. The patient is moved into an airborne isolation room and the patient asks. "Why do I need to be moved into this new room?" How should the nurse respond?

A. Obtain daily urine specimens by opening the collection drainage system: Opening the drainage system increases the risk of introducing bacteria into the catheter, which can lead to infection.

B. Keep the urine collection bag below the level of the bladder at all times: Keeping the bag below the bladder prevents urine from back flowing into the bladder, which reduces the risk of infection.

C. Retract the foreskin to clean the catheter tubing and meatus outward, leaving the foreskin retracted: While the foreskin should be retracted for cleaning, it must always be returned to its normal position to prevent paraphimosis, a condition where the foreskin becomes trapped and restricts blood flow.

D. Change the indwelling catheter at least every one week: Routine catheter changes are not recommended unless there is an indication such as obstruction or infection. Unnecessary changes increase infection risk.

A. Take the report home and keep it locked up: Incident reports are confidential legal documents that must remain within the healthcare facility per policy.

B. Place the report in the client's medical record: Incident reports should not be included in the client’s medical record to prevent liability issues. Instead, objective documentation of the event and any interventions should be recorded in the chart.

C. Maintain the report according to agency policy: The report must be handled per facility protocols, typically submitted to the risk management department to improve patient safety.

D. Email the report to their nursing supervisor: Incident reports contain sensitive information and should be submitted securely following facility policy, not via email.
