Answer to Question 1

1. Have the client wear a mask when coming from admission

Rationale:
When a client has an airborne disease and must go elsewhere in the hospital, the client must wear a mask. Supplies to prevent transmission of disease should be stocked at the end of the shift so that adequate supplies will be available for the next health care provider. Hands should be washed before and after client care. The mask should be removed just as the staff leaves the client's room, not when coming out of the room.

Answer to Question 2

B
The volume of 1,000 ml is to infuse over 10 hours or 100 ml per hour. The 100 ml is to be infused over 60 minutes using an infusion set that delivers 10 drops per minute. Divide 100 ml by 60 and multiply that by 10 to reach the value of 17 drops per minute.
