Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Use a designated stethoscope when caring for the toddler.
Rationale:
🔷 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is transmitted through direct contact and large respiratory droplets, not airborne particles.
🔷 Using a designated stethoscope prevents cross-contamination between patients, a key part of contact and droplet precautions.
🔷 The nurse should also wear gloves and a gown while in the room and remove them before exiting to prevent the spread of infection.
🔷 Cohorting or private rooming and use of dedicated equipment are essential strategies for infection control in pediatric clients with RSV.
