A nurse in a pediatric unit is caring for a group of clients. For which of the following diseases should the nurse implement droplet precautions?

A.

A. "Your PICC line will allow long-term access for antibiotic therapy." - PICC lines are often used for long-term administration of medications, including antibiotics, due to their durability and ease of use.

B. "You should use a 5-milliliter barrel syringe to flush your PICC line at home." - The size of the syringe used to flush a PICC line depends on the facility's protocol and the client's specific

needs. Specific instructions regarding syringe size should be provided by the healthcare provider or nurse.

C. "Your PICC line must be placed in your nondominant arm." - The choice of arm for PICC line placement depends on various factors, including vein integrity and the client's comfort. There is no strict requirement for the PICC line to be placed in the nondominant arm.

D. "You should immobilize the arm with the PICC line using a sling." - Immobilizing the arm with a sling is not typically necessary after PICC line placement. Clients are usually instructed to avoid excessive movement and to keep the arm clean and dry to prevent complications.

A. A client who has an ileal conduit and mucus in the pouch - While mucus in the ileal conduit pouch should be monitored, it is not an urgent priority compared to assessing for potential complications such as bleeding in another client.

B. A client who has an arteriovenous fistula that vibrates when palpated - A vibrating arteriovenous fistula indicates normal functioning and does not require immediate assessment.

C. A client who had a transurethral resection of the prostate with red-tinged urine in the bag - Red-tinged urine may indicate bleeding, a potential complication after a transurethral resection of the prostate, requiring prompt assessment and intervention.

D. A client who has chronic kidney disease with cloudy dialysate outflow - While cloudy dialysate outflow may indicate infection or other complications in a client with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis, it is not as urgent as assessing for bleeding in the client with red- tinged urine.
