A nurse is collecting data from a client who is 2 days postpartum. The client tells the nurse she cannot afford to pay for baby formula. The nurse should refer the client to which of the following members of the interprofessional team?

When a central venous catheter (CVC) is inserted, it is essential to confirm proper catheter placement to ensure safe and effective administration of TPN and other medications. A chest x-ray is the gold standard method to verify the correct positioning of the CVC tip. It helps determine if the catheter is appropriately positioned in the superior vena cava or another desired location, which minimizes the risk of complications such as pneumothorax or improper medication delivery.

The other options listed are not appropriate actions for the nurse to take in this situation:

1. Verifying the amount of TPN solution the client is receiving every 4 hours is a task related to ongoing monitoring of TPN administration, but it is not directly related to the preparation of the client for CVC insertion.
2. Using clean technique when changing the catheter dressing is not appropriate for CVC insertion. Sterile technique is required during the insertion of a CVC to minimize the risk of infection.
3. Placing the client in Sims' position is not the appropriate position for CVC insertion. The client is typically placed in a supine or Trendelenburg position during the procedure to facilitate access to the central venous system.

Varicella zoster is highly contagious, and airborne precautions should be implemented. Assigning the client to a negative pressure airflow room helps prevent the spread of the virus to others by containing and filtering the air within the room.

In addition to airborne precautions, contact precautions should also be implemented. This includes using gloves and gowns when providing care to the client to minimize direct contact with infectious materials.

The other options listed are not appropriate interventions for a client with varicella zoster: While it is important to minimize close contact with an infectious client, varicella zoster is primarily transmitted through airborne droplets. Visitors should follow the appropriate precautions, such as wearing masks and adhering to hand hygiene, rather than just maintaining a certain distance.

Aspirin should not be given to clients with varicella zoster, especially children, due to the risk of developing Reye's syndrome. Reye's syndrome is a rare but serious condition that can cause swelling in the liver and brain. Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is typically recommended for managing fever in clients with varicella zoster.
