Answer to Question 1
Answer: D
The most appropriate area of client education is to cover the mouth and nose when sneezing to prevent airborne droplets from escaping into the air for others to contract in the chain of infection. Placing linens in a paper bag would allow germs to come out through the bag, and the linen would act as a fomite, thus allowing the chain to continue. PPE is not necessary in the community setting. Gloves are not necessary for clients to wear in the home or community.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: C
Maintaining privacy and securing data are significant issues. One way that computers can protect data is by the use of passwords; only those individuals who have a legitimate access to the data are provided a password. Information in a computer data system may not always be safe, and it would be inappropriate for the nurse to say this. Nurses need to be involved with the design, implementation, and evaluation of electronic medical records to maximize their use and effectiveness, but this does not ensure security. Reminding the client that there is indeed cause for privacy concerns is not as therapeutic as explaining that the system requires a password.
