Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has impetigo. Which of the following actions by the nurse indicates an understanding of how impetigo is spread?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Wearing gloves when assessing the toddler. Impetigo is primarily spread through direct contact with the infected skin or items contaminated with the bacteria. Wearing gloves during assessment prevents the nurse from coming into direct contact with the lesions, reducing the risk of spreading the infection.
A: Initiating droplet precautions is not necessary for impetigo as it is not transmitted through respiratory droplets.
C: Placing the toddler in a negative airflow room is not required for impetigo, as it is not an airborne infection.
D: Providing a protective environment is a broad term and does not specifically address the mode of transmission of impetigo.
