HESI RN EXIT 3 PROCTORED EXAM
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has respiratory syncytial virus. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Wearing an N95 respiratory mask is not typically required for routine care of a toddler with respiratory syncytial virus unless performing procedures that generate aerosols. B. Negative pressure rooms are generally reserved for patients with airborne infections like tuberculosis; respiratory syncytial virus does not typically require isolation in a negative pressure room. C. Using a designated stethoscope helps prevent the spread of infection to other patients by avoiding cross-contamination. D. Removing the disposable gown after leaving the toddler's room is appropriate for maintaining infection control but is not specific to caring for a toddler with respiratory syncytial virus.
