Question 1 of 5

Which action will the nurse include in the plan of care for a patient who is being admitted with Clostridium difficile?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Contact isolation prevents the transmission of Clostridium difficile spores, a significant source of nosocomial infections. Private rooms reduce cross-contamination risks. Antidiarrheal use is contraindicated in Clostridium difficile infection as it may worsen colitis by retaining toxins. Prompt stool elimination is vital. Antibiotics are used to treat Clostridium difficile but educating the patient about antibiotic cessation is inappropriate as their use is essential for infection control. Stool softeners are unnecessary since diarrhea is already present, and further softening may exacerbate fluid and electrolyte loss.
