A nurse in an urgent care clinic is caring for an infant who presents with vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased oral intake. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

A. Complete activities for one client before moving to the next client. Focusing on completing tasks for one client at a time helps ensure safe, uninterrupted care, reduces errors, and promotes efficiency in task completion.
B. Document assessment findings and interventions after providing care for a group of clients. Delaying documentation increases the risk of forgetting important details and may lead to inaccuracies. Documentation should be done promptly after care is provided.
C. Gather supplies for a client's dressing change after removing the old dressing. Supplies should be gathered before beginning a procedure to prevent delays, reduce exposure time, and avoid leaving the client unattended.
D. Delay cleaning personal work area until the end of the shift. Maintaining a clean and organized workspace throughout the shift improves efficiency, infection control, and safety, especially in shared environments.

A. Open the outermost flap of the sterile kit toward the body. The outermost flap should always be opened away from the body first to prevent contamination of the sterile field by leaning over it. This helps maintain sterility by minimizing the risk of contact.
B. Place the cap from the solution sterile side up on a clean surface. Placing the cap sterile side up prevents the sterile inner surface from touching the contaminated surface and helps maintain aseptic technique during solution use.
C. Place the sterile dressing within 1.25 cm (0.5 in) of the edge of the sterile field. The outer 2.5 cm (1 inch) border of a sterile field is considered contaminated. Placing items too close to the edge increases the risk of contamination and compromises the field's sterility.
D. Set up the sterile field 5 cm (2 in) below waist level. Any sterile item held or placed below waist level is considered contaminated. The sterile field must always be maintained above waist level to preserve asepsis.
