The female caregiver of a patient wears a scarf that covers her head and face when males enter the room. The nurse noted that male nurses were entering the room without notice to the caregiver. The nurse's best action would be to:
 
  1. No intervention is needed by the nurse.
   2. Place a sign on the door stating that all males must first knock and ask permission prior to entering the room.
   3. Only allow female caregivers.
   4. Only allow male caregivers.

Question 2

A 3-month-old infant has had surgery to repair an inguinal hernia. The nurse is giving discharge instructions for care of the surgical site. Instructions should include:
 
  1. Cleansing the surgical site by placing the infant in a bathtub twice a day.
   2. After each diaper change, check to make sure the area is clean and dry.
   3. Apply a dressing to the area to keep it clean.
   4. Remove the stitches in one week.
