A nurse is teaching a class about infection control to a group of nurses. The nurse should identify which of the following diseases as requiring the implementation of droplet precautions?

A. “Take your diuretic medication with your evening meal." Taking diuretics in the evening can increase nighttime urination, worsening sleep disruption and incontinence. They should generally be taken in the morning to minimize nocturia.
B. "Decrease your intake of cranberry juice." Cranberry juice is often recommended to promote urinary tract health, though it doesn’t directly worsen urge incontinence. It is not necessary to avoid it unless advised by a provider for another reason.
C. "Plan to urinate every 3 hours while you are awake." Scheduled voiding at regular intervals is a key strategy in bladder retraining. It helps reduce urgency episodes and gradually increases bladder capacity and control over time.
D. “Limit your fluid intake to 500 milliliters per day." Severely limiting fluids can lead to dehydration, concentrated urine, and bladder irritation, potentially worsening incontinence. Adequate fluid intake should be maintained unless otherwise directed.

A. Place the tip of the thermometer under the center of the infant's axilla: This is the correct method for taking an axillary temperature in infants, which is the recommended route due to safety and ease. The tip should be placed snugly in the center of the axilla and the infant's arm should be held firmly against their body to ensure accuracy.
B. Pull the pinna of the infant's ear forward before inserting the probe: This technique is used for otoscopic or tympanic temperature readings in children under 3, but tympanic readings are not preferred in young infants due to the small size and curvature of their ear canals, which can lead to inaccuracy.
C. Insert the oral thermometer in front of the infant's tongue: Oral temperature measurement is inappropriate for infants. They may not be able to keep the thermometer properly positioned, which increases the risk of inaccurate readings or injury.
D. Insert the probe 3.8 cm (1.5 in) into the infant's rectum: Rectal temperature measurement is not routinely recommended unless specifically indicated, and the probe should only be inserted about 1.3 cm (0.5 in) for infants to avoid rectal perforation. The option listed suggests unsafe depth.
