A nurse is planning care for a client who has malnutrition due to cancer. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care? (Select all that apply.)

A. People mistakenly think they are experiencing seasonal allergies: While seasonal allergies may share some symptoms with the common cold, such as nasal congestion and sneezing, they are caused by allergens rather than viruses. This factor does not directly contribute to the high communicability of the common cold.

B. The virus is spread by individuals who don't have symptoms: The common cold is highly communicable because individuals infected with the virus can spread it to others even before they develop symptoms or when they have mild symptoms. This makes it challenging to prevent the spread of the virus, as infected individuals may not realize they are contagious.

C. Hand washing is not effective against the cold virus: Hand washing is an effective measure for preventing the spread of the common cold virus. Proper hand hygiene can help reduce the transmission of the virus from contaminated surfaces to the nose and mouth.

D. Use of over-the-counter cold products reduces immune resistance: Over-the-counter cold products may help relieve symptoms of the common cold but do not directly affect immune resistance. However, reliance on symptomatic relief without taking precautions to prevent the spread of the virus can contribute to its communicability.

A. Lime: Lime can cause chemical burns, especially when in contact with moisture (e.g., skin or eyes), but it is less common than some other agents listed.

B. Hydrofluric acid: Hydrofluoric acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns upon contact with the skin or mucous membranes.

C. Bleach: Bleach, particularly sodium hypochlorite, is a common household chemical that can cause chemical burns, especially in concentrated forms.

D. Fabric softener: While fabric softeners contain chemicals, they are not typically known to cause significant chemical burns unless ingested or used improperly.

E. Gasoline: Gasoline is a flammable liquid that can cause chemical burns upon skin contact.
