    A nurse is planning discharge to home for a client who has a high risk of developing sepsis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse Include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Avoiding cold drinks left out may help prevent foodborne illness, but it is not a key sepsis prevention measure. B. Flossing can cause gum irritation or bleeding, increasing the risk of infection, especially in immunocompromised clients. C. Storing a toothbrush in water can promote bacterial growth; it’s better to let it air dry. D. Wearing gloves when cleaning a cat’s litter box helps reduce exposure to toxoplasmosis and other pathogens, which is especially important for clients at high risk for infection and sepsis.
