A nurse is preparing to administer vancomycin 250 mg PO. The amount available is vancomycin 125 mg/ capsule. How many capsules should the nurse administer to the client with each dose? (Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Avoiding use of a urinary catheter: While avoiding unnecessary urinary catheterization is important to prevent healthcare-associated urinary tract infections, this action may not be directly applicable to an incontinent patient who requires interventions to manage incontinence.
B. Applying absorbent briefs: Using absorbent briefs helps contain urine and feces, reducing the risk of skin breakdown and contamination of the environment.
C. Restricting Fluids: Restricting fluids may lead to dehydration and is not a recommended approach for preventing healthcare-associated infections in incontinent patients.
D. Toileting patient every 4 hours: Toileting frequency should be individualized based on the patient's needs and not restricted to a specific time interval. Additionally, simply toileting the patient may not be sufficient to prevent healthcare-associated infections if proper hygiene practices are not followed.

A. A person with diabetes who requires hospitalization for cellulitis: Cellulitis may not necessarily be a healthcare-associated infection unless it developed as a complication during the hospitalization.
B. Pneumonia in a hospitalized patient: Pneumonia acquired during a hospital stay is considered a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) because it develops after 48 hours of hospital admission.
C. Chronic urinary tract infection for a homebound patient: A chronic urinary tract infection in a homebound patient is not automatically considered a healthcare-associated infection unless it can be directly linked to healthcare interventions or devices.
D. A sexually transmitted infection in a healthy young adult: Sexually transmitted infections are not healthcare-associated infections as they are typically acquired through sexual contact rather than healthcare settings.
