A nurse is providing care to a client who is immunocompromised.
Which of the following should the nurse identify as a possible source of infection?

Choice A rationale:

Removing wrist restraints one at a time from a calm client, while not following the recommended two-person verification process, is a potential safety concern but may not require an incident report. However, it should be addressed according to the facility's policies and procedures.

Choice B rationale:

An electronic IV pump delivering twice the prescribed amount of fluid is a critical incident that should be reported immediately via an incident report. Such errors can have serious consequences for the patient and may require immediate intervention.

Choice C rationale:

Discovering that a client's family member administered a PCA dose is also a significant event that should be reported via an incident report. PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia) dosing should only be administered by healthcare professionals to ensure safe and accurate medication delivery.

Choice D rationale:

Observing a client vomiting after receiving an oral pain medication should be addressed and documented in the patient's medical record as a change in the patient's condition, but it may not necessarily require an incident report unless there are extenuating circumstances or complications.

Choice A rationale:

The nurse should not include the instruction to "Avoid breastfeeding for 3 days after receiving the vaccine." This is not a necessary precaution for the MMR vaccine. Breastfeeding can continue after the MMR vaccination without any adverse effects on the infant.

Choice B rationale:

The correct instruction is to "Avoid pregnancy for at least 28 days after receiving the vaccine." This is because the MMR vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine, and there is a theoretical risk of transmitting the virus to a developing fetus. Waiting for 28 days after vaccination allows the woman's immune system to respond to the vaccine and reduce any potential risk to the fetus. This is especially important during the postpartum period when a woman may be at risk of becoming pregnant again.

Choice C rationale:

The statement "If you are allergic to gluten, you should not receive this vaccine" is not accurate. The MMR vaccine does not contain gluten as an ingredient. Allergic reactions to the MMR vaccine are generally related to components of the vaccine itself, not gluten.

Choice D rationale:

The instruction to "Your partner should also receive the MMR vaccine" is not a standard recommendation for postpartum women. While it is essential for individuals to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, the focus in this scenario should be on the postpartum woman receiving the MMR vaccine to protect herself and any future pregnancies.
