Zorluk: OrtaAccident, Error, and Injury Prevention

The healthcare team is managing a client diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis who also exhibits acute delirium and a high risk for falls. Which actions should the registered nurse include in the comprehensive safety plan? Select all that apply.

  1. Maintain the client in a negative-pressure airflow room with the door securely closed.Cevap
  2. B
    Assign unlicensed assistive personnel to evaluate the client's cognitive status every two hours.
  3. Keep the client's bed in the lowest possible position with the wheels locked.Cevap
  4. D
    Apply bilateral soft wrist restraints to prevent the confused client from leaving the isolation room.
  5. Place a standard surgical mask on the client if transport outside the room is necessary for essential testing.Cevap
  6. F
    Instruct all entering staff members to wear a standard surgical mask and a contact isolation gown.

Cevap

The correct interventions are maintaining the client in a negative-pressure room with the door closed, keeping the bed in the lowest locked position, and placing a surgical mask on the client during transport.
Appropriate safety management for this complex client requires a combination of strict airborne precautions (negative-pressure room, client wearing a surgical mask when outside the room) and standard fall prevention measures (bed in the lowest position). These evidence-based interventions protect both the client from physical injury and the facility from infectious spread.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary safety and infection control risks for the client based on the clinical presentation.
The client requires airborne precautions due to active pulmonary tuberculosis and requires fall/injury prevention due to acute delirium.
Recognizing multiple competing priorities ensures that all aspects of client safety are comprehensively addressed in the care plan.
2
Evaluate the proposed interventions for proper infection control (airborne precautions).
A negative-pressure room with the door closed is required. Staff must wear N95 respirators (not standard surgical masks), and the client must wear a standard surgical mask if transport is essential.
These specific measures are mandated by evidence-based guidelines to prevent the transmission of airborne droplet nuclei.
3
Evaluate the proposed interventions for fall prevention and delirium management.
The bed must be kept in the lowest position with wheels locked. Assessments cannot be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel, and restraints should not be used as an initial intervention to prevent wandering.
Safe practice prioritizes the least restrictive measures for confused clients and ensures tasks requiring clinical judgment remain with the registered nurse.
