Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should ask the client to eat a well-balanced diet rich in protein and vitamins A and C. The nurse should not instruct the client to keep the doors and windows of the room closed at night because this will not allow fresh air into the room. The disease does not spread through fecooral transmission, but rather by inhalation of infected droplets that a person with an active infection releases into the air. The infectious waste of the client should be burned instead of being disposed of in a biohazardous waste receptacle.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
If unfamiliar with a particular medication, the nurse should first collect information regarding the medication before administering it. The nurse can do so by consulting the healthcare provider or a more experienced nurse or referring to drug reference handbooks or the Internet. The nurse should not avoid administering the medication to the client. The nurse cannot change the drug order and administer a more familiar antibiotic. The healthcare provider always issues drug orders. Nurses should never administer a medication that is not familiar to them, even though it may be as per the prescription. They should first collect information about the drug and only then proceed with the administration.
