    Ati nurs 213 paediatric proctored exam

    A nurse is planning care for an infant who has spina bifida and is to undergo surgical closure of the myelomeningocele sac? Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Contact precautions are not typically necessary unless there is an active infection. B. Maintaining the infant in the supine position is not a specific intervention for spina bifida and may not be necessary post-surgery. C. A latex-free environment is crucial for infants with spina bifida due to a high risk of developing latex allergies. D. Limiting visitors is not necessary unless the infant is immunocompromised or in isolation for infection control.
