A nurse is helping to place a client into the prone position.
The nurse should use a small pillow to relieve pressure from which of the following areas of the client's body?

Choice A rationale:

Hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is not the recommended solution for disinfecting surfaces following a blood spill. While it can be used to clean wounds and may have some disinfectant properties, it is not as effective as bleach in destroying bloodborne pathogens.

Choice B rationale:

Bleach. Bleach is the appropriate choice for disinfecting surfaces contaminated with blood. A 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) is effective at killing bloodborne pathogens such as HIV and hepatitis B and C viruses. It should be used in healthcare settings to ensure proper disinfection after a blood spill.

Choice C rationale:

Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is an effective disinfectant for some purposes, but it may not be as effective as bleach against bloodborne pathogens. It is commonly used for cleaning and disinfecting skin before medical procedures but is not the recommended choice for disinfecting surfaces following a blood spill.

Choice D rationale:

Chlorhexidine. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic solution often used for skin disinfection before surgical procedures or invasive medical interventions. It is not typically used for disinfecting surfaces contaminated with blood.

Choice A rationale:

Hospice care is typically recommended for clients with a terminal illness who are no longer seeking curative treatment. It may not be suitable for an older adult with early onset dementia unless their condition is very advanced.

Choice B rationale:

Recommending an adult day care facility is appropriate in this situation. Adult day care centers provide a safe and stimulating environment for older adults who require supervision and socialization during the day. It can be a helpful resource for the client's care while the adult child is at work.

Choice C rationale:

Suggesting a community senior center is a good option for social engagement and activities, but it may not provide the level of supervision and care needed for an older adult with dementia, especially if the adult child works full-time.

Choice D rationale:

Recommending a long-term care facility is a more drastic step and is typically considered when a client's care needs cannot be met at home or in less restrictive settings. It may not be necessary for a client with early onset dementia who still has family support.
