A nurse is caring for a client who has AIDS.
Which of the following solutions should the nurse use to disinfect the client's overbed table following a blood spill?

The correct answer is Choice B.

Choice A rationale: This client has a new diagnosis and requires initial teaching about meal planning, which is typically a responsibility of a registered nurse (RN) due to the need for specialized knowledge and teaching skills.

Choice B rationale: This client has a low urinary output, which needs to be monitored, but the care required is within the scope of practice of a licensed practical nurse (LPN). They can manage and report findings to the RN.

Choice C rationale: This client has a low respiratory rate postoperatively, which could indicate respiratory depression. This requires immediate assessment and intervention from an RN, who can make complex clinical judgments and initiate appropriate care.

Choice D rationale: This client needs an admission assessment, which includes comprehensive initial evaluation. An RN is required for this as it involves detailed assessment, care planning, and initiation of care.

Choice A rationale:

Hegar's sign is a softening of the uterine isthmus, which occurs during early pregnancy. It is not related to changes in the color of the vagina and vulva.

Choice B rationale:

Chloasma refers to the appearance of dark, blotchy, and hyperpigmented skin patches that can occur during pregnancy, primarily on the face. It is not related to changes in the color of the vagina and vulva.

Choice C rationale:

Ballottement is a technique used during a physical examination to assess for a floating fetus within the amniotic fluid. It is not related to changes in the color of the vagina and vulva.

Choice D rationale:

Chadwick's sign is the purplish or bluish discoloration of the vaginal and vulvar mucosa that can occur during pregnancy. This sign is due to increased blood flow to the area, which is a normal physiological change in pregnancy.
