Answer to Question 1

D
A sense of loneliness may develop because normal social relationships become disrupted. The nurse should plan care to control the risk that the patient may feel isolated. Denial and regression are not risks related to isolation. Aggression is not a risk for the patient on isolation precautions.

Answer to Question 2

D
The scrub nurse/technician who accidentally touches the faucet with one hand while rinsing will rescrub. This is an example of following a sterile conscience and being committed to safe, quality patient care.
