A nurse is caring for a toddler who has respiratory syncytial virus. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Use a designated stethoscope when caring for the toddler. This is important to prevent the spread of the virus to other patients. Using a designated stethoscope reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Choice A is incorrect as N95 masks are unnecessary for RSV. Choice B is also incorrect as negative pressure rooms are not required for RSV. Choice D is incorrect as the gown should be removed before leaving the room to prevent transmission.
