Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Clients in isolation should leave their rooms only when necessary, such as for a CT scan that cannot be done portably in the room. The nurse should ensure that the receiving department is aware of the isolation precautions needed to care for the client. The other options are not needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Vancomycin is one of a few drugs approved to treat MRSA. The others include linezolid (Zyvox) and ceftaroline fosamil (Teflaro). Visitation does not need to be limited to immediate family only. Hand hygiene is performed before and after wearing gloves. A respirator is not needed, but if splashing is anticipated, a face shield can be used.
