Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best procedure to follow if a child swallows something poisonous is to telephone the local poison control center. The experts at the poison control center can provide immediate guidance on how to handle the situation based on the specific substance ingested and the child's age and weight. They will advise whether it is necessary to bring the child to the emergency room, induce vomiting, or take other appropriate actions.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is an appropriate nursing intervention to prevent infection in patients with AIDS?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct nursing intervention to prevent infection in patients with AIDS is to wear protective gear such as gown, mask, gloves, and goggles when entering the patient's room. Patients with AIDS have compromised immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections. Wearing protective gear helps prevent the transmission of pathogens from healthcare providers to the patient and vice versa. It helps minimize the risk of exposure to infectious agents and protects both the patient and the healthcare team. Prohibiting visitors with a cough (option B) may be important for preventing the spread of certain infections, but it is not the most effective measure for protecting patients with AIDS. Option A is not appropriate as it isolates the patient, which can have negative psychological effects. Option D is not specific enough and does not provide clear guidance on infection prevention measures.
