The nurse should ensure that what items are included in the room of a client who is on contact isolation?
1. Cabinet stocked with gloves and gowns
2. Cards and records
3. Paper towels, sink, and blood pressure cuff
4. Sign on the door
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: A cabinet stocked with gloves and gowns would be on the outside of the room.
Rationale 2: Cards and records should never be taken into an isolation room.
Rationale 3: Paper towels and a sink for hand washing should be in the client's room so they can be used before the staff leaves the room. A blood pressure cuff is needed to stay in the client's room to prevent cross contamination.
Rationale 4: The sign explaining the kind of isolation should be on the outside of the door to alert the staff of what is needed to enter.
