A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the care of a client who has a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection.
Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?
"I will wear an N95 respirator mask when caring for the client.".
"I will place the client in a private room.".
"I will remove my gown before my gloves after providing client care.".
"I will tell the client's visitors to wear a mask when they are within 3 feet of the client.".
The Correct Answer is B
A client with MRSA infection should be placed in a private room to prevent the spread of infection.
Choice A is wrong because an N95 respirator mask is not necessary when caring for a client with an MRSA infection.
Choice C is wrong because the proper sequence for removing personal protective equipment is to remove gloves first, then the gown.
Choice D is wrong because visitors do not need to wear a mask when they are within 3 feet of the client with an MRSA infection.

Explanation
Gastric residual of 300 mL at the end of the shift is an unexpected finding.
Gastric residual volume refers to the volume of fluid remaining in the stomach during enteral feeding.
A gastric residual volume of less than or equal to 500 mL every 6 hours is considered safe and indicates that the gastrointestinal tract is functioning.
Choice B is wrong because weight gain is expected during enteral feeding.
Choice C is wrong because a blood glucose level of 110 mg/dL is within the normal range.
Choice D is wrong because diarrhea can be a common side effect of enteral feeding.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
According to self-efficacy theory, learning develops from multiple sources, including perceptions of one’s past performance, vicarious experiences, performance feedback, affective/physiological states, and social influences.
Choice B is wrong because simply explaining the need for education to the client may not necessarily increase their motivation to learn.
Choice C is wrong because seeking family approval by agreeing to a teaching plan may not necessarily increase the client’s motivation to learn.
Choice D is wrong because the nurse’s empathy about the client having to self-inject may not necessarily increase their motivation to learn.
