A nurse is teaching a client about tetanus. Which of the following statements should the nurse make? (Select All that Apply.)

A. "A deep wound that has come in contact with soil, dirt, or dust could become infected with tetanus.": Tetanus spores are commonly found in soil and dust. Deep or puncture wounds provide an anaerobic environment for Clostridium tetani, making infection possible, so this is accurate. B. "A minor wound that is not a puncture wound is not sufficient enough to allow tetanus to enter the body.": Even minor wounds can become infected if contaminated; tetanus spores can enter through small cuts, making this statement inaccurate. C. "Wounds that come in contact with contaminated animal feces can cause tetanus.": Animal feces may harbor Clostridium tetani, so wounds exposed to contaminated feces are a recognized risk factor for tetanus infection. D. "Newborns are at risk if their parent is unvaccinated or gives birth in unsanitary conditions.": Neonatal tetanus can occur in infants born to unvaccinated mothers or in non-sterile birth environments, making this a valid point for preventive education. E. "Since there is no treatment for tetanus once acquired, vaccination is very important.": Vaccination is the primary preventive measure because treatment after infection is complex and outcomes can be severe, highlighting the importance of immunization.
