ATI Medical Surgical Nursing, Care of Patients with Infection

Document Content and Description Below

1. After an infection control in-service, which statement by the nurse demonstrates an accurate understanding of the mode of transmission of influenza? a. “I will not develop the infection unles... s I have physical contact with the client.” b. “I should wear an N95 respirator to provide care for the client with influenza.” c. “I should try to stay at least 3 feet away from the client, if at all possible.” d. “The infection is spread through droplets suspended in the air and inhaled.” ANS: C Influenza is transmitted via droplets. Droplets are produced when a person talks or sneezes and travel short distances (up to 3 feet) but are not suspended in the air for long. Staff should stay at least 3 feet (1 m) away from a client with droplet infection. Actual physical contact with the client is not necessary for infection to occur. It is not necessary for staff to wear an N95 respirator mask for Droplet Precautions; these masks are used in the care of clients with tuberculosis.
