Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is HIV positive and is one day postoperative following an appendectomy. The nurse should wear a gown as personal protective equipment when taking which of the following actions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Completing a dressing change. When performing a dressing change on a client who is HIV positive, the nurse should wear a gown as personal protective equipment to prevent exposure to the client's blood or body fluids. This is important to reduce the risk of transmission of HIV to the nurse. Administering an intermittent IV bolus medication (
A) does not require wearing a gown unless there is a risk of exposure to blood or body fluids. Talking to the client at the bedside (
B) and administering an IM injection (
C) do not involve contact with blood or body fluids that would necessitate wearing a gown. Completing a dressing change (
D) involves direct contact with the client's wound and potentially contaminated materials, making it necessary to wear a gown for protection.
