Practice Question
A nurse is creating the plan of care for a client who is immunosuppressed. Which of the following precautions should the nurse include in the plan? (Select all that apply.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Instruct the client to eat cooked foods only,
Rationale:
🟦 Immunosuppressed clients have a reduced ability to fight infection, requiring measures that minimize exposure to pathogens.
🟦 Eating cooked foods only reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses from bacteria or parasites found in raw foods.
🟦 Restricting visitors with active infections prevents transmission of communicable diseases to a vulnerable client.
🟦 These precautions directly reduce environmental and interpersonal sources of infection.
🟦 Incorporating these measures into the plan of care supports infection prevention and patient safety.
Dispose of all linen in the trash after use.
🟦 Soiled linen should be placed in designated laundry bags, not trash.
🟦 Proper linen handling prevents cross-contamination while maintaining facility protocols.
Don a mask, gloves, and gown.
🟦 Full PPE is not required unless the client is on specific isolation precautions.
🟦 Standard precautions are sufficient in most immunosuppressed-care situations.
Limit the client from bathing daily.
🟦 Daily bathing supports skin integrity and hygiene, reducing infection risk.
🟦 Limiting bathing can actually increase microbial growth on the skin.
