Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
If a nurse feels that a client needs to be restrained, the nurse should inform the physician and obtain necessary orders. The nurse should also discuss this with the client's family members and ask their opinion. Applying a wrist restraint instead of a vest restraint is inappropriate if a vest restraint is genuinely necessary. It would be inappropriate to delegate this aspect of care to a family member.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The infection control room has a private bathroom so that personnel can flush contaminated liquids and biodegradable solids. Infection control personnel keep the door to the room closed to control air currents and the circulation of dust particles. A sink is also located in the room for handwashing. The housekeeping personnel should clean the infection control room last to avoid transferring organisms on the wet mop to other client areas.
