The client has protective precautions (reverse isolation) in place due to a severely depressed neutrophil count. Which statement by the client demonstrates a good understanding of the precautions?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D. This is because proper hand hygiene helps prevent the transmission of infections to the client with a severely depressed neutrophil count. By ensuring that persons entering the room perform hand hygiene, the client reduces the risk of contracting infections.
Choice A is incorrect because protective precautions do not directly impact blood count recovery. Choice B is incorrect as the distance alone does not prevent infection transmission. Choice C is incorrect as flowers can introduce pathogens.
