Which interventions should the emergency department nurse implement during the management of a client suspected of exposure to anthrax? Select all that apply.

An important aspect of care for a client who has a bioterrorism-related illness is postexposure management. Decontamination and exposure management of the client suspected of anthrax exposure include instructing the client to remove contaminated clothing and store contaminated clothing in a labeled plastic (not paper) bag; handling clothing minimally to avoid agitation; instructing the client to shower thoroughly using soap and water; and using standard precautions and wearing appropriate protective barriers when handling contaminated clothing or other items. Postexposure prophylaxis with oral fluoroquinolones for the client is also recommended. The use of sterile gloves is unnecessary.
