The nurse is caring for the client with Clostridium difficile. Which intervention should the nurse implement to prevent health-care associated infection (HAl) spread to other clients?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Cleaning the perianal area with soap and water after each stool reduces the risk of Clostridium difficile spore transmission, which is critical for preventing healthcare-associated infections. Betadine is not standard, gloves are insufficient alone, and flushing twice is not evidence-based.
