Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The client with a scalp infection should be advised to shampoo her hair daily with a mild shampoo. For occasional use, the nurse will use dry shampoos, which are applied to the hair as a powder. Other options include aerosol spray or foam. Anti-lice shampoos or oil-based shampoos are not used for fear of aggravating the infection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should pour a 70 alcohol solution over the antineoplastic drug spill to inactivate the drug. Nurses cover the drug preparation area, not the spill area, with a disposable paper pad and wear surgical latex to reduce the potential of skin contact and inhalation of drug powder. Pouring disinfectant on the drug spill is inappropriate. The spill area should be cleaned with detergent and water at least three times, and then rinsed with clean water.
