A nurse is assisting with the care of a preschooler who has manifestations of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A reason:

"I will avoid using my microwave oven at home because of the ICD."This statement is incorrect. Using a microwave oven does not interfere with the functioning of an ICD. It is safe for clients with ICDs to use microwave ovens.

Choice B reason:

"I can hold my cell phone on the same side of my body as the ICD."This statement is incorrect Holding a cell phone on the same side of the body as the ICD should not cause any harm or interfere with the device's functioning.

Choice C reason:

"I will wear loose clothing over my ICD." This statement is correct and demonstrates understanding of the teaching. Wearing loose clothing over the ICD helps prevent excessive pressure or friction on the device and reduces the risk of dislodging the ICD leads or causing discomfort.

Choice D reason:

"I will soak in the tub rather than showering." This statement is incorrect. Avoiding showers is not necessary for clients with ICDs. Taking showers is generally safe for individuals with ICDs, as the device is designed to be waterproof and withstand such conditions.

The correct answer is C. The risk manager.

Rationale: The risk manager is responsible for identifying and managing potential or actual sources of harm or loss in a healthcare organization. The risk manager would be interested in analyzing the data on zolpidem use and fall rate, implementing preventive measures, and reporting adverse events to regulatory agencies if needed. The surgeon may not be directly involved in prescribing zolpidem or monitoring its effects on postoperative clients. The case manager may not have access to or authority over medication administration policies or practices. The pharmacist may be able to provide information on zolpidem's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, but may not be able to address the organizational factors that contribute to fall risk.
