As a part of care planning, the nurse considers the client's spiritual needs. What is the Rationale for this concern?

C. This option correctly identifies therationale behind the nurse's instruction. Immunosuppressed clients have a weakened immune system, making them highly vulnerable to infections. Family members may carry microorganisms on their hands, clothes, or respiratory secretions that can potentially transmit infections to the client. Wearing gloves and a mask helps reduce the risk of introducing pathogens to the client.

A. This option suggests that the risk is related to hospital staff transmitting infections to family members. While this is a concern in healthcare settings, it is not directly related to the specific situation described where family members are visiting an immunosuppressed client in a protective environment.

B. This option implies that the hospital environment itself poses a risk of infection transmission to family members. While hospitals can harbor various pathogens, the primary concern in this scenario is the transmission of infections to the immunosuppressed client from outside sources, including family members.

D. This option suggests that the client could transmit infections to family members. While this is theoretically possible depending on the specific infectious agent and the client's condition, the primary concern in a protective environment is preventing infections from entering the client's environment and affecting their health.

A. Applying warm compresses can help relieve discomfort

B. Regular monitoring of skin moisture is crucial in managing IAD. Moist skin is more susceptible to breakdown, so frequent checks allow for prompt intervention, such as changing incontinence products or applying protective barriers.

C. Applying a moisture barrier product after cleansing helps protect the skin from moisture and irritants found in urine or feces. These products create a protective barrier that can prevent further damage and promote healing of already affected skin. This is essential in managing IAD.

D There is no clinical

Rationale to decrease oral intake in the early morning specifically for managing IAD. Hydration is important for overall skin health, and reducing oral intake without medical indication could lead to dehydration, which may worsen skin condition.

E. Vigorous drying of the skin is not recommended as it can exacerbate skin irritation and damage. Instead, gentle patting or air drying is preferred to avoid further trauma to the already compromised skin.
