n1 n1 n1
Reasoning:->>>When the caregiver is caring for several Hospital clients, all of the n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
labs should be checked frequently throughout the shift to assess for any
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
abnormalities. The WBC in option 1 is abnormal. (Normal WBC 4,000–10,000
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
mm3.) All of the other lab results are within acceptable range; therefore, the results
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

Reasoning:->>>The caregiver must have an understanding of standard precautions. n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
, n1 Prevention is the most important measure to prevent nosocomial infections.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
n1 Standard precautions were published in 1996 that provide guidelines
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
for the handling of blood and other body fluids. These guidelines are used with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
all Hospital clients, regardless of whether they have a known infectious disease.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
Standardprecautions are used
n1 n1 n1 n1
by all healthcare workers who have direct contact with Hospital clients or with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
their body fluids. It is not necessary for the caregiver to wear gloves while
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
delivering food trays to the Hospital client, because there is not contact with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
the Hospital client.

n1 ANSWER:-2
Reasoning:->>>In addition to handwashing and standard precautions, the nature and n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
spread of some infectious diseases require that special techniques be used to protect
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
uninfected Hospital clients and workers. The Hospital client with pulmonary
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
tuberculosis will be placed in airborne precautions. The Hospital client should be
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
placed in a private room with special ventilation that does not allow air to circulate to
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
