A nurse enters a client's room and notices a small fire in the bathroom trash can. The nurse removes the client from the room. Which of the following actions should the nurse take next?

Choice A reason: This is not the correct choice because recommending the son meet with the provider to get information about his mother's condition is not the first action the nurse should take. The nurse should first stop the unauthorized access to the client's records and protect the client's privacy and confidentiality. The nurse can then offer to arrange a meeting with the provider if the son has questions or concerns.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct choice because completing an incident report regarding the breach of the client's confidentiality is not the first action the nurse should take. The nurse should first intervene to prevent further disclosure of the client's information and secure the computer. The nurse can then document the incident and follow the facility's policy and procedure for reporting such events.

Choice C reason: This is the correct choice because logging out the computer so that the client's son is unable to view his mother's information is the first action the nurse should take. The nurse should act quickly and assertively to terminate the unauthorized access to the client's records and safeguard the client's rights. The nurse should also explain to the son why his action was inappropriate and how it violated the client's confidentiality.

Choice D reason: This is not the correct choice because reporting the possible violation of client confidentiality to the nurse manager is not the first action the nurse should take. The nurse should first address the immediate situation and ensure that the client's information is no longer accessible to the son. The nurse can then inform the nurse manager and the provider about the incident and the actions taken.

Choice A reason: This is a correct statement by the newly licensed nurse. Airborne precautions are used for clients who have infections that can be transmitted through the air, such as tuberculosis, chickenpox, or measles. The nurse should have the client wear a mask when leaving the room to prevent spreading the infection to others.

Choice B reason: This is an incorrect statement by the newly licensed nurse. A negative-pressure airflow room is used for clients who are on airborne precautions, not for clients who have compromised immunity. A negative-pressure airflow room prevents contaminated air from escaping the room and infecting others. A client who has compromised immunity should be placed in a positive-pressure airflow room, which prevents outside air from entering the room and exposing the client to pathogens.

Choice C reason: This is an incorrect statement by the newly licensed nurse. An N95 respirator mask is used for clients who are on airborne precautions, not for clients who are on droplet precautions. Droplet precautions are used for clients who have infections that can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, such as influenza, pertussis, or meningitis. The nurse should wear a surgical mask, not an N95 respirator mask, when caring for a client who is on droplet precautions.

Choice D reason: This is an incorrect statement by the newly licensed nurse. Visitors do not need to wear a mask when visiting a client who is on contact precautions, unless they are in direct contact with the client or the client's environment. Contact precautions are used for clients who have infections that can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact, such as MRSA, VRE, or C. difficile. The nurse should wear gloves and a gown, and perform hand hygiene before and after caring for a client who is on contact precautions.
