A charge nurse is providing teaching to a newly licensed nurse on how to clean surfaces contaminated with blood. Which of the following agents should the nurse include in theteaching?

A. Taking the client to the bathroom after a preoperative injection may be unsafe because many preoperative medications can cause sedation or dizziness, increasing the risk of falls.
B. Verification of the surgical site should occur before administration of preoperative medications, as the client may be sedated and unable to participate accurately afterward.
C. Teaching deep breathing and coughing exercises is most effective before sedation, when the client is alert and able to learn and follow instructions.
D. Raising the side rails on the bed is a priority safety measure after administering preoperative sedatives, as it helps prevent falls and injury while the client is drowsy or unsteady.

A. "I should place a rolled blanket along each side of my baby's head in the car seat." - Incorrect. Placing rolled blankets on each side of the baby's head is not recommended as it can increase the risk of suffocation. Infants should be positioned in the car seat without any extra padding or blankets.

B. "I should place my baby's car seat rear-facing until 6 months of age." - Correct. Rear- facing car seats are recommended for infants until they reach at least 2 years of age or until they outgrow the weight and height limits specified by the car seat manufacturer. This position provides the best protection for the baby's head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash.

C. "I should put the car seat retainer clip at the level of my baby's belly button." - Incorrect. The retainer clip should be positioned at armpit level to secure the harness straps properly.

D. "I should position my baby's car seat at a 90-degree angle in the car." - Incorrect. Car seats should be installed at the appropriate recline angle according to the manufacturer's instructions, which may vary depending on the specific car seat model and the child's age and size.
