D Communicate with the patient over the call light whenever possible - ANSWER C
Frequently, patients in contact isolation do experience a decrease in social interaction
because of the isolation. The nurse must help provide adequate social stimulation for the
patient. Frequently, this is done by educating the family and friends regarding isolation
practices. Isolation does not mean that the patient cannot have visitors. Visitors must be
educated on how to maintain the contact isolation while with the patient, especially hygiene
guidelines. Personal protective equipment must be used when entering the room of a
patient in contact isolation. Nurses and visitors do not always know when they will come
into contact with a pathogen, especially if it is highly virulent. The patient in contact isolation
should have regular face-to-face contact with the nurse. The nurse should not use the call
light system to communicate with a patient in isolation any more than any other patient.
