Answer to Question 1

B
A patient in isolation will have equipment for daily care placed in the isolation room. A sterile stethoscope is not needed. Equipment is kept in the room until the patient is discharged. Removing the equipment daily will increase exposure risk to others.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct: The nursing diagnosis that would best fit this situation is interrupted family processes due to disrupted attachment. An infant who was separated from his parents for the first 2 months of life due to prematurity and hospitalization has not established a nurturing bond or appropriate attachment. Weak attachment bonds can result in caregivers viewing the child as an imperfect child and place him at risk for abuse.
B Incorrect: This nursing diagnosis does not best fit this situation.
C Incorrect: This nursing diagnosis does not best fit this situation.
D Incorrect: This nursing diagnosis does not best fit this situation.
