Reduction of Risk Potential NCLEX PN | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Linens should be double-bagged. Isolation refers to techniques used to prevent or to limit the spread of infection. Some form of isolation has been used for centuries, whether to protect a high-risk person from exposure to pathogens or to prevent the transmission of pathogens from an infected person to others. Special handling of articles and linen soiled by any body fluid is indicated. These articles should be placed in impervious bags before they are removed from the client's bedside. Bagging in watertight containers is indicated to prevent exposure of personnel and contamination of the environment. The outside of the bag should not be contaminated when placing articles inside it. Each hospital and community agency has procedures for labeling and decontaminating exposed articles. Items that are visibly soiled with body substances should be rinsed and placed in plastic bags or clearly marked containers, often labeled 'Contaminated.' If the outside of the bag becomes contaminated, placing that bag in another bag (double-bagging) is required.
