A charge nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about infection control measures. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?

The correct answer is choice d. "Soiled dressings should be placed in a biohazard trash receptacle.". Choice A rationale: For a client who has Clostridium difficile, hand hygiene should be performed with soap and water, not an alcohol-based rub, as alcohol does not effectively kill C. difficile spores. Choice B rationale: Droplet precautions typically require wearing a mask, not necessarily a gown and gloves. Gown and gloves are more commonly associated with contact precautions. Choice C rationale: Following a blood spill, a bleach solution with a ratio of 1 to 10 is recommended, not 1 to 20. This higher concentration ensures effective disinfection. Choice D rationale: Placing soiled dressings in a biohazard trash receptacle is correct. This prevents the spread of infection and ensures proper disposal of contaminated materials.
