A nurse is calculating the total fluid intake for a client during a 4-hr period. The client consumes 1 cup of coffee. 4 oz of orange juice. 3 oz of water, 1 cup of flavored gelatin, 1 cup of tea. 5 oz of broth, and 3 oz of water. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client’s record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Place the client in a private room with a special ventilation system.
The primary method to prevent the transmission of tuberculosis is to place the client in a negative pressure room with adequate ventilation. This helps to reduce the risk of airborne transmission of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria.

B. Modify the protocol for donning and removing personal protective equipment before entering or leaving the client’s room:
Standard precautions should be followed, but the primary emphasis is on airborne precautions due to the potential for airborne transmission of TB. Modifications to donning and removing PPE are not the main focus.

C. Have staff and visitors wear gowns, masks, and gloves while in the client’s room:
Airborne precautions are more specific for suspected active tuberculosis. While gowns, masks, and gloves may be used for other infectious diseases, the key precaution for TB is a private room with negative pressure ventilation.

D. Assign the client to a room with other clients who require droplet precautions:
Tuberculosis is primarily transmitted through airborne particles, not droplets. Placing the client in a room with droplet precautions is not sufficient to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.

A. Teaching a client insulin injection technique.
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are trained to provide direct patient care, including the administration of medications and patient education. Teaching a client insulin injection technique falls within the scope of practice for an LPN.

B. Evaluating changes to a client’s pressure ulcer:
Assessing and evaluating changes in a client's condition, including pressure ulcers, involves clinical judgment and interpretation of findings, tasks typically performed by an RN.

C. Admission assessment of a new client:
Conducting comprehensive assessments, especially for new admissions, requires a higher level of nursing assessment skills and is generally within the scope of practice for an RN.

D. Scheduling a diagnostic study for a client:
The task of scheduling diagnostic studies involves organizational and administrative skills. RNs often handle coordination of care, including scheduling, as part of their responsibilities.
