A nurse assistant must obtain the blood pressure of a client in airborne isolation. Which of the following methods is best to prevent transmission of infection to other clients by the equipment?
  1. Dispose of the equipment after each use.
  2. Wear gloves while handling the equipment.
  3. Use the same equipment you use with other clients for the client in airborne isolation.
  4. Leave the equipment in the room for use only with that client.
Explanation
Answer: D - Leaving equipment in the room is appropriate to avoid organism transmission by inanimate objects. Disposing of equipment after each use prevents transmission of organisms but isn’t cost-effective. Wearing gloves protects the nurse assistant, not other clients. Using the same equipment for all clients spreads infectious organisms among clients.
