Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is making a room assignment for a client who has scabies. In which of the following rooms should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A private room. This is appropriate for a client with scabies to prevent the spread of the infestation to others. A private room allows for isolation and reduces the risk of transmission to other clients.
A: A negative-pressure isolation room is typically used for clients with airborne infections to prevent the spread of pathogens outside the room. Scabies is not transmitted through the air.
C: Placing the client in a semi-private room with a client who has pediculosis capitis (head lice) is not ideal as both conditions are caused by different parasites and may increase the risk of cross-contamination.
D: A positive-pressure isolation room is used for clients who need protection from outside pathogens, not for containing contagious conditions like scabies.
In summary, a private room is the best choice for a client with scabies to prevent transmission to others, while the other options are not appropriate due to the nature of scabies and the need for isolation.

A: This statement is correct as the health care proxy only goes into effect when the client is incapable of making decisions.
C: This statement is correct as the client can change their designated health care proxy at any time.
D: This statement is correct as the health care proxy will make end-of-life choices if the client becomes incapacitated.
Question 4 of 5

Choice B is incorrect as using mouthwash before therapy may not be relevant to chemotherapy administration.
Choice D is incorrect as flossing frequency is not directly related to chemotherapy treatment.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin and gentamicin sulfate via IV infusion. Which of the following resources should the nurse consult first regarding medication compatibility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hospital pharmacist. The nurse should consult the pharmacist first for medication compatibility as they are experts in drug interactions and compatibility. Pharmacists can provide specific guidance on whether ampicillin and gentamicin sulfate can be safely administered together via IV infusion. Consulting the health care provider (choice
A) may also be necessary for prescribing information, but pharmacists have specialized knowledge on drug interactions. The nurse manager (choice
C) may not have the expertise in medication compatibility. Consulting a medication sales representative (choice
D) is not appropriate as their role is to promote and sell medications rather than provide clinical guidance on compatibility.
