Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Rubella (German measles) is spread through respiratory droplets. The patient should be put on droplet precautions. Nurses should use good hand-washing techniques for all patient contacts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Newborn screening was the first population-based screening program to test for genetic conditions. Many diseases that cause an increased risk for infection, liver damage, mental retardation, or even death can often be identified through these tests. The hospital may require an opt-out waiver, but this is not the best initial answer. Some of the diseases are uncommon but potentially devastating, so the screening is not done for diseases only seen in one community. Parents can opt out of some or all tests, depending on the state in which they live, but the nurse should first educate the parent about why the tests are so important.
