    HESI RN EXIT 1 PROCTORED EXAM

    The client with influenza needs help in transferring to the bedside commode. The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) don gloves and a gown to assist the client. Which action should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Assigning the UAP to another client does not address the need for proper infection control measures when assisting the client with influenza. B. Wearing a face mask is essential to prevent the transmission of respiratory droplets during close contact with the client with influenza. Reviewing the importance of wearing a face mask reinforces infection control practices. C. Applying a fitted respirator mask may not be necessary for routine care of a client with influenza and may not be readily available for UAP use. D. While important, monitoring the client's respiratory status does not directly address the need for infection control measures to prevent the spread of influenza.
