Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has neutropenia due to HIV. Which of the following precautions should the nurse take while caring for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Use a dedicated stethoscope. Neutropenia puts the client at a higher risk for infections, so using a dedicated stethoscope helps prevent cross-contamination and reduces the risk of introducing pathogens to the client. A dedicated stethoscope is only used for this client to minimize the spread of infection. Wearing an N95 respirator (choice
A) is not necessary unless the client has a respiratory infection. Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter (choice
B) is not indicated unless necessary for monitoring. Monitoring vital signs every 8 hr (choice
C) is important but not specific to neutropenia.
