Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical unit is caring for a group of clients. For which of the following tasks should the nurse wear a face shield?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Suctioning a client's tracheostomy tube. When suctioning a tracheostomy tube, there is a risk of exposure to the client's respiratory secretions which may contain pathogens. Using a face shield provides protection against potential splashes or sprays of secretions, reducing the risk of contamination.
Choice B (Emptying an indwelling urinary catheter bag) does not require a face shield as it does not involve exposure to respiratory secretions.
Choice C (Inserting an IV catheter for a client who has peritonitis) involves a different type of procedure that does not necessitate a face shield.
Choice D (Changing the brief of an older adult client who has a Clostridium difficile infection) may require additional precautions such as gloves and gown due to the risk of contact transmission, but a face shield is not specifically indicated for this task.
