A nurse is caring for a client who follows a lacto-vegetarian diet. Which of the following food choices should the nurse recommend?

Choice A Reason:

"I will rinse the contaminants from a bedpan with hot water." Is incorrect. Rinsing contaminants with hot water might not be sufficient for proper disinfection and could potentially contribute to the spread of infection. Proper disinfection methods involve using appropriate cleaning agents or disinfectants.

Choice B Reason:

"I will double-bag a client's linens each day." Is incorrect. While containing soiled linens is important, double-bagging might not necessarily be a standard practice for managing linens unless there's a specific protocol or contamination issue. It might not be directly related to infection control principles.

Choice C Reason:

"I will wear sterile gloves when bathing a client who is incontinent." Is incorrect. Wearing sterile gloves for routine bathing of an incontinent client is not typically necessary. Using clean gloves or standard precautions would generally be appropriate unless there's a specific medical procedure requiring sterile technique.

Choice D Reason:

"I will use disinfectant to clean the blood pressure cuff after use on a client." Is correct. Using a disinfectant to clean equipment, especially after use on a client, is a key infec

Choice A Reason:

Placing the bed in the lowest position before logrolling the client is incorrect. Lowering the bed position isn't directly related to the safety or comfort of the client during logrolling. It's more important to focus on proper body alignment and support for the surgical site.

Choice B Reason:

Placing the client in semi-Fowler's position prior to logrolling is incorrect. Semi-Fowler's position (a reclined position with the head of the bed elevated at a 30-45-degree angle) might be used for comfort, but it's not specifically necessary before logrolling, which is a technique used to move the client while maintaining spinal alignment.

Choice C Reason:

Placing the client's arms above her head prior to logrolling is incorrect. Placing the client's arms above the head isn't typically necessary or recommended before logrolling a postoperative client. It's crucial to prioritize maintaining proper body alignment and minimizing stress on the surgical site during movement.

Choice D Reason:

Placing a pillow between the client's legs prior to logrolling is correct. This action helps maintain proper alignment of the spine and reduces pressure on the surgical site during logrolling. Placing a pillow between the legs provides support and helps prevent excessive twisting or stress on the back.
