Tina Madamba-NCLEX-RN® Passer

Congratulations to Tina for recently passing the NCLEX-RN® exam. In Tina's case, the computer stopped because she consumed her 6-hours time limit. But she remembered what I told her that as long as the computer has not stopped, you are still in the game.

If the examinee rans out of time, the computer looks at how you did in the last 60 questions and the result of the test was based on that. Congratulations to Tina for passing the exam. I know she is in cloud nine.

Isolation Precautions

When caring for a client with hemophilia A, a nurse should take which of the following isolation precautions?

A. Wearing eye shields when entering the client's room.
B. Wearing a face mask when entering the client's room.
C. Wearing double gloves when performing invasive procedures on the client.
D. Wearing eye shields when assessing the client's central venous access port.

Answer: D. Eye and face shields must be worn when working over large skin lesions. Since hemophilia A is not airborne, it is not essential to wear a face mask or eye shields when entering the client's room. Gloves must be used when in contact with mucous membranes, but double gloves are not essential.

A nurse knows that the best precaution to prevent the spread of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the hospital unit involves:

A. Washing hands carefully before and after client contact.
B. Getting personal vital titer levels to establish susceptibility.
C. Wearing a face mask when entering an infected client's room.
D. Wearing a gown when entering an infected client's room.

Answer: A. To prevent the spread of RSV, a nurse should wash their hands and avoid touching the nasal mucosa or the conjunctiva.
