Practice Question
A nurse is providing care to a client who is immunocompromised. Which of the following should the nurse identify as a possible source of infection?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Soiled linens are placed on the floor.
Rationale:
📌 Immunocompromised clients have a diminished ability to fight off infections, making environmental cleanliness crucial.
📌 Placing soiled linens on the floor increases the risk of contamination from environmental pathogens.
📌 Floors are considered non-sterile zones and are often colonized by bacteria and fungi, which can be transferred to other surfaces.
📌 Proper practice requires placing soiled items in designated hampers immediately, preventing cross-contamination.
📌 In contrast, damp dusting, capped sharps disposal, and single-lined waste bins are all infection-control compliant.
