Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has manifestations of a Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection. Which action should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Use gown and gloves when entering the room. This is important in preventing the spread of C. difficile infection, as it is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces. Wearing gown and gloves helps in reducing the risk of spreading the infection to other patients or healthcare workers. Placing a surgical mask on the client (choice
A) is not necessary as the main mode of transmission is through contact. Using an alcohol-based agent for hand hygiene (choice
C) is not sufficient for C. difficile, as spores are resistant to alcohol and require soap and water for proper removal. Obtaining a blood specimen for testing (choice
D) is not a priority in managing C. difficile infection, as the diagnosis is usually made through stool samples.
