A nurse is caring for a client who is on isolation precautions. Which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment should the nurse remove first?

Rationale:

A. A middle adult man: Although some adults up to age 45 can receive the HPV vaccine based on shared decision-making, routine vaccination is not typically initiated in middle adulthood. The vaccine is most effective when given prior to exposure to HPV, ideally during adolescence.

B. A teenage boy: The HPV vaccine is routinely recommended for all adolescents, including boys, starting at ages 11 to 12, with catch-up vaccination through age 26 if not previously vaccinated. It helps prevent various HPV-related cancers and is most effective when administered before sexual activity begins.

C. An older adult woman: HPV vaccination is not routinely recommended for individuals older than 26. While it may be considered up to age 45 in certain situations, it is less beneficial after potential HPV exposure, and routine administration in this age group is not advised.

D. A preschool-age girl: The HPV vaccine is not recommended for children under 9 years old. Initiating the vaccine too early is not effective or necessary, as the immune system response and timing related to potential HPV exposure are best addressed in early adolescence.

Rationale:

A. "I should gain half of a pound per week to meet my treatment goal": Weight gain goals for clients with anorexia nervosa are typically more aggressive, often around 1 to 3 pounds per week, to restore healthy weight timely and prevent complications of prolonged malnutrition.

B. "The staff will watch me closely for 1 hour after each meal": Monitoring clients after meals is essential to prevent purging behaviors, such as vomiting or excessive exercise. The one-hour observation period helps ensure safety and supports recovery.

C. "The treatment goal is to be within 60 percent of my ideal body weight.": Treatment aims to restore clients to at least 85 to 90 percent of their ideal body weight to improve physical and psychological health; 60 percent is dangerously low and not an appropriate goal.

D. "The staff will weigh me every night before I go to bed.": Weighing is typically done once in the morning before breakfast and after voiding, to ensure consistency and accuracy. Nighttime weighing is not standard practice and may contribute to anxiety.
