Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The response of the body to an infectious process (fever), as well as dehydration, would support the nursing diagnosis of Risk for Imbalanced Body Temperature for this client.

Ans: C
The CDC recommends that a health care worker whose hands are visibly soiled or contaminated with blood or body fluids wash the hands with soap and water. If the hands are not visibly soiled, an alcohol-based handrub can be used.
