Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Factors that must be present in order to transmit an infection include a host with a portal of entry, a mode of transmission, and a reservoir. Colonization is not one of these factors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Meningitis is a disease caused by endotoxins, which are released with cell lysis. Antibiotics often work by lysing cell membranes, which would increase the amount of endotoxin present in the client's body. The nurse should carefully monitor this client for a worsening of his or her condition. Delegating comfort measures is appropriate for any client. Clients with meningitis are placed on Droplet Precautions, and initiating isolation should have been done on admission. The client does not need to have visitors restricted.
