Question 1 of 5
A nurse on an inpatient care unit is working to help reduce unit costs. Which of the following actions is appropriate to include in the cost-containment plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Use clean gloves rather than sterile gloves for colostomy care. This is appropriate for cost containment because sterile gloves are more expensive than clean gloves, and for certain procedures like colostomy care, clean gloves provide sufficient protection. Using sterile gloves unnecessarily would increase costs without providing any additional benefit.
Option A is incorrect because storing opened bottles of normal saline in a refrigerator for up to 48 hours can compromise patient safety and lead to waste if the saline is not used within the specified time frame.
Option B is incorrect because waiting to dispose of sharps containers until they are completely full can pose a safety risk as overfilled containers may lead to needlestick injuries.
Option D is incorrect because returning unused supplies from the bedside to the unit's supply stock can be beneficial for inventory management but may not directly impact cost containment as significantly as choosing less expensive gloves for routine care.
