Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A client with MRSA infection should be placed in a private room to prevent the spread of infection.

Choice A is wrong because an N95 respirator mask is not necessary when caring for a client with an MRSA infection.
Choice C is wrong because the proper sequence for removing personal protective equipment is to remove gloves first, then the gown.
Choice D is wrong because visitors do not need to wear a mask when they are within 3 feet of the client with an MRSA infection.

A. "No changes noted to the wound from previous nursing notes.". B. "New dressing applied as prescribed; no drainage on old dressing.". C. "The wound seems clean and does not appear to be infected.". D. "Client premedicated with MSO4 subq prior to dressing change.".

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The nurse’s entry “New dressing applied as prescribed; no drainage on old dressing” demonstrates correct documentation because it includes specific details about the wound and the dressing change.
Choice A is wrong because it does not provide specific details about the wound or the dressing change.
Choice C is wrong because it includes subjective language (“seems” and “does not appear”) rather than objective observations.
Choice D is wrong because it only documents medication administration and does not provide any information about the wound or the dressing change.
