A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a newly admitted client.

Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider?

This tort is committed by an assistive personnel who threatens to put a client in restraints for not following a provider’s prescription for strict bed rest because assault is defined as an intentional act that causes another person to fear that they will be harmed.
Choice B is wrong because defamation of character is not the tort committed in this situation.
Defamation of character involves making false statements that harm another person’s reputation.
Choice C is wrong because false imprisonment is not the tort committed in this situation.
False imprisonment involves intentionally restricting another person’s freedom of movement without their consent.
Choice D is wrong because the battery is not the tort committed in this situation.
Battery involves intentionally touching another person in a harmful or offensive manner without their consent.

The correct answer is choicec. “You will need to wear a mask when outside of your room.”

Choice A rationale:

Visitors wearing protective gowns is important to prevent infection, but it is not the primary teaching point for the patient themselves.

Choice B rationale:

Patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplants are typically placed in private rooms to minimize the risk of infection, not semi-private rooms.

Choice C rationale:

Wearing a mask when outside the room is crucial for the patient to protect themselves from infections due to their compromised immune system during the transplant process.

Choice D rationale:

Negative-airflow rooms are used to prevent the spread of airborne infections from the patient to others, not necessarily to keep the air cleaner for the patient.
