D. Furniture
E. Equipment
,A client has a draining, infected wound. The drainage touches a cut on a nurse's skin, leading to
an infection. What type of transmission is this?
Direct contact transmission
A client who has a respiratory infection sneezes without covering the mouth and nose. A person
a few feet away becomes infected when large mucus particles land in their mouth. What type of
transmission is this?
Droplet transmission
A client who coughed on their hand touches a door handler. Another person touches the same
door handle and becomes infected with the same pathogen as the client. What type of
transmission is this?
Indirect contact transmission
, A nurse enters a room where a client who has a respiratory infection was present for several
hours. The nurse inhales small particles that remain in the air and develops an infection. What
type of transmission is this?
Airborne transmission
A client who has extremely dry, flaky skin asks why the nursing staff continually applies lotion.
How should the nurse respond?
The skin is the largest organ of the body and is the body's primary physical defense. Keeping the
skin moisturized helps to keep skin intact, which reduces the risk of infection. The skin performs
three major functions, reducing water loss, protecting against abrasion and microbes, and
providing a permeable barrier against the environment.
Place the findings in the order in which they occur during the inflammatory response.
- Bacteria invade an open wound
- Pus develops
- Phagocytosis occurs
- Histamine, Kinins, and Prostaglandins arrive at the site
