A nurse is disinfecting the room of a client who has a Clostridium difficultiesinfection. Which of the following solutions should the nurse use?

Chlorhexidine.

Isopropyl alcohol.

Chlorine bleach.

Triclosan.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

According to the CDC1, chlorine bleach is an effective disinfectant for killing C. difficile spores on environmental surfaces.

It should be used in a 1:10 dilution of household bleach and water, freshly mixed daily.

Chlorine bleach can also kill other pathogens that may be present in the room of a client with C. difficile infection.

Choice A is wrong because chlorhexidine is not effective against C. difficile spores.

Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic that can be used for hand hygiene and surgical asepsis, but it does not kill spores.

Choice B is wrong because isopropyl alcohol is also not effective against C. difficile spores.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not sufficient for preventing the spread of C. difficile, and soap and water should be used instead.

Choice D is wrong because triclosan is a type of antibacterial agent that is commonly found in some consumer products, such as soap and toothpaste. However, triclosan has no activity against C. difficile spores.

Triclosan may also contribute to antibiotic resistance and has potential adverse effects on human health and the environment.
