A student nurse was overheard talking about maintaining a safe and clean environment. A nurse realizes that the student has a strong understanding when the student says:
 
  1. It is not necessary to disinfect equipment unless it comes in direct contact with the patient.
  2. It is housekeeping's job to empty the bedside commode.
  3. Disinfection will eliminate all viruses and spore-forming bacteria.
  4. Even though that blood has dried, some viruses may still be present.

Question 2

After several weeks alone, a patient on transmission-based precautions is feeling secluded. The nurse can help alleviate these feelings by
 
  1. Offering to bring the patient a newspaper or magazine.
  2. Spending some time talking with the patient while in the room.
  3. Remembering that patients are people first, and that their diagnoses are secondary.
  4. All of the above.
