A nurse is caring for a client who has clostridium difficile infection. which of the following

a. droplet

Droplet precautions are a requirement for clients who have infections that spread via droplet nuclei that are larger than 5 microns in diameter, including influenza, rubella, meningococcal pneumonia, and streptococcal pharyngitis.
Airborne precautions are a requirement for clients who have infections that spread via droplet nuclei that are smaller than 5 microns in diameter, including varicella, tuberculosis, and measles.
Contact precautions are a requirement for clients who have infections that spread via direct contact with another person or contact with the environment, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and scabies.
Protective environment Clients who have a compromised immune system, such as those who have had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant, require a protective environment.

a,c,d

Check the cord routinely for frays or tearing is correct. Oxygen concentrators require electrical power. Safe use of this delivery system includes assessing the electrical function of the device; therefore, the nurse should instruct the client to routinely check the condition of the cord.Keep the unit at least 1.2 m (4 feet) away from a gas stove is incorrect. Safe use of home oxygen equipment includes keeping the unit at least 3.05 m (10 feet) away from open flames, such as from a fireplace or a gas stove, and at least 2.4 m (8 feet) away from other heat sources.Consider purchasing a generator for power backup is correct. Loss of electricity prevents the oxygen concentrator from functioning and could deprive the client of necessary oxygen. The nurse should also instruct the family to have the client placed on their municipality's priority list for restoring power after an outage occurs.Observe for signs of hypoxia is correct. The nurse should instruct the family to observe for and report signs of hypoxia, such as anxiety, worsening fatigue, dizziness, rapid pulse and respirations, pallor, and cyanosis. Even with supplemental oxygen, the client's status can worsen, resulting in the development of hypoxia.Select synthetic clothing and bedding is incorrect. Safe use of oxygen therapy includes choosing clothing and bedding made from material that does not generate static electricity; therefore, the nurse should instruct the client to select materials made from cotton.

a. auscultate lung sounds

Auscultate lung sounds.The priority assessment the nurse should make when using the airway, breathing, circulation approach to client care is auscultating lung sounds to monitor for fluid volume excess, a complication of IV therapy. Manifestations of fluid volume excess include moist crackles in lung fields, dyspnea, and shortness of breath.
Measure urine output.The nurse should measure urine output to monitor the renal function of a client who is receiving IV fluid; however, it is not the priority assessment.
Monitor blood pressure readings. The nurse should monitor blood pressure readings to evaluate the hemodynamic stability of a client who is receiving IV fluids; however, it is not the priority assessment.
Monitor electrolyte levels.The nurse should monitor electrolyte levels, especially sodium, to guide the planning of interventions to correct any imbalances in a client who is receiving IV fluids; however, it is not the priority assessment.

d. distended neck veins

Hypotension is an indication of fluid volume deficit. Other indications of fluid volume deficit, or dehydration, are dry mucous membranes and sunken eyeballs.
Weak, thready pulseA weak, thready pulse is an indication of fluid volume deficit. Other indications of fluid volume deficit, or dehydration, include an increased hematocrit and urine specific gravity.
Slow capillary refillA decrease in capillary refill time is an indication of fluid volume deficit. Other indications of fluid volume deficit, or dehydration, include output of less than 30 mL/hr and dark yellow urine.
Distended neck veins. Indications of fluid volume excess include distended neck veins, edema, tachycardia, crackles in the lungs, dyspnea, a bounding pulse, and an increase in blood pressure.
