Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A nurse caring for a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and has methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) should initiate Contact Precautions.
Choice A is incorrect because Droplet Precautions are not necessary for MRSA.
Choice B is incorrect because a Protective Environment is not necessary for MRSA.
Choice D is incorrect because Airborne Precautions are not necessary for MRSA.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A newborn who is 10 hr old and has onset tachypnea.
Tachypnea means rapid breathing and can be a sign of respiratory distress.
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a respiratory disorder usually seen shortly after delivery in babies who are born near or at term.
It is important for the nurse to assess this newborn first to determine the cause of the tachypnea and provide appropriate care.
Choice A, a newborn who is 24 hr old and has not had a meconium stool, may
require further assessment but is not as urgent as a newborn with tachypnea.
Choice B, a newborn who has a short frenulum and is having difficulty breastfeeding, may require assistance with feeding but is not as urgent as a newborn with tachypnea.
Choice D, a newborn who is 30 hr old and has blood-tinged discharge in her diaper, may have pseudomenstruation which is normal and not a cause for concern.
