A nurse at a local health department is caring for several clients. Which of the
following infections should the nurse report to the state health
department?

The correct answer is Choice A because, Double-bag soiled dressings in polyethylene bags. The nurse should double-bag soiled dressings in polyethylene bags to contain the infection and prevent the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The bags should be securely tied and labeled as contaminated.

Choice B is wrong because, Encourage the client to use a HEPA filter in the house, is not the correct answer because a HEPA filter is not effective in controlling the spread of MRSA.

Choice C is wrong because, Wear a mask when within 3 feet of the client, is not the correct answer because wearing a mask is not necessary unless the nurse is providing direct care to the client and is within 3 feet of them.

Choice D is wrong because, Remove fresh flowers from the client's home, is not the correct answer because fresh flowers are not a source of MRSA.

The correct answer is Choice D because, "You should have a complete eye examination every 2 years until the age of 64." Women over 50 should have a complete eye exam every 2 years until the age of 64 to screen for age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma. Having hearing screened every 5 years (Choice A is wrong because) is recommended for adults over the age of 50. Having a fasting blood glucose level checked every 3 years (not every 6 years) (Choice B is wrong because) is recommended for adults aged 45 years and older. Testing stool for blood (Choice C is wrong because) is a screening test recommended for colorectal cancer starting at age 50.
