Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an immunocompromised client on chemotherapy. The family would like to visit. What teaching should the nurse provide to the family regarding protective isolation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Visitors should be taught to refrain from bringing flowers. Immunocompromised clients are at risk of infections, including from flower pollen and bacteria on flowers. Flowers can introduce pathogens that may harm the client. Teaching visitors to avoid bringing flowers helps maintain a safe environment for the client.
Explanation of other choices:
A: Visitors bringing a fruit basket may introduce pathogens from handling fruits or the basket itself, potentially compromising the client's health.
C: Allowing a sick family member to visit, even with a surgical mask, increases the risk of spreading infections to the immunocompromised client.
D: Hand washing and N95 masks are important for infection control, but N95 masks may not be necessary for all visitors unless experiencing symptoms or exposed to illnesses.
