The patient takes insulin for control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. 3. The patient was diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease 5 years ago. 4.

Post by: mlee24 on Mar 1, 2018 Correct Answer: 4 To provide care to a patient under droplet precautions, the nurse should wear a mask and eye protection or a face shield when entering the room. Head and shoe covers and gowns would not protect the areas vulnerable to droplets. Gloves alone are not adequate protection against droplet secretions. Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4 Chronic diseases may impair healing. High blood glucose levels impair chemotactic and phagocytic function. Arterial and venous disorders impair the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to heal tissues and remove toxins, bacteria, and other waste products from the wound area. Drug therapy with corticosteroids may suppress the immune and inflammatory responses and delay healing. A history of total knee replacement would not delay healing in this patient. Acetaminophen is not identified as a medication that adversely affects healing. Correct Answer: 3, 4, 5 Hepatitis B (HB) vaccine is recommended for people newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus who are under age 60 years and for those in high-risk populations such as patients with end-stage renal disease or chronic liver disease. The vaccine is not recommended for those with ovarian cysts or Down syndrome. Correct Answer: 4 Linezolid (Zyvox) is the first antibiotic in a class of antibiotics called oxazolidinones. This antibiotic inhibits protein synthesis and is effective against organisms that are resistant to both vancomycin and methicillin. Because of its usefulness against those organisms, its use should be reserved for infections caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and MRSA. Penicillin, gentamycin, and tetracycline are not identified as medications to treat vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Title: The nurse is caring for a patient under droplet precautions.
