A nurse in a community clinic is caring for a client who requests assistance with smoking cessation. The nurse should expect a prescription for which of the following medications?

A. Remove the thermometer from client's room for use on another client. Clients with C. difficile should have dedicated equipment (e.g., thermometers, stethoscopes) to prevent cross-contamination. Reusing equipment between patients increases the risk of infection transmission.
B. Wear a gown when providing care. Contact precautions are required for clients with C. difficile, including wearing a gown to protect against contamination from infectious material or surfaces.
C. Wear an N95 respirator when providing care. C. difficile is spread through the fecal-oral route, not airborne. A surgical mask is not required, and an N95 respirator is unnecessary unless another airborne condition is present.
D. Change gloves after contact with infectious material. Gloves must be changed after contact with contaminated materials to prevent spreading spores to other surfaces or clients. This is a standard part of contact precaution practices.
E. Wash hands with an alcohol-based cleaner. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are ineffective against C. difficile spores. Handwashing with soap and water is required after caring for a client with this infection to properly remove the spores.

A. Sensation of skin warmth. A warm or flushed sensation is common during cardiac catheterization, especially when contrast dye is injected. This is a normal and temporary response to the dye used in the procedure.
B. Increased salivation. Increased salivation is not a typical reaction during cardiac catheterization. It is not associated with the administration of contrast dye or catheter manipulation.
C. Numbness and tingling of the extremities. Numbness or tingling may indicate compromised circulation or nerve involvement, which is abnormal and should be reported immediately. It may suggest complications like arterial spasm or clot.
D. Headache. Headaches are not expected during a cardiac catheterization. If a headache occurs, especially a severe one, it should be evaluated further, as it could indicate a reaction or another complication.
