Bed alarms and sensor pads can be used to alert caregivers when a patient is attempting to get up
from a bed or chair, especially for a patient that is at risk for a fall. This is an effective

double the distance, you reduce the exposure by a factor of four. The amount of radiation
exposure typically increases with the time people spend near the source of radiation
You should quickly remove contaminated clothing by pulling it over your head
True or False Answer: False
Contaminated clothing should never be removed quickly, but it should be cut off instead of
pulled over your head. place contaminated clothing inside a plastic bag, seal the bag, and then

acquired infection, which of these children would be the most appropriate roommate for a 3-
year-old child diagnosed with minimal change disease
a. 3 year old with fracture, with a sibling that has Fifth disease
b. 2 year old diagnosed with respiratory infection
c. 6 year old with sickle cell disease experiencing vaso-occlusive crisis
d. 4 year old with bilateral inguinal hernia repair Answer: d. 4 year old with bilateral inguinal
hernia repair
Minimal change disease is a kidney disorder that can lead to nephrotic syndrome.
Corticosteroids can cure the disease in most children but cytotoxic therapy and other drugs may
be needed, but this treatment can reduce the child's ability to fight infection. The charge nurse
must select a roommate who does not have an infection, which is the child child who had
surgery. The sickle cell crisis may have triggered an infection. The child's sibling who has a
viral disease has the potential to develop an infection.
The nurse is setting up a patient's dinner tray. When the nurse turns her back to the patient, the
