The hospital has just provided its nurses with information about biologic threats and terrorism. After completing the course, a group of nurses is discussing its responsibility in relation to bioterrorism.
 
  Which statement by the nurse indicates a correct understanding of the concepts presented?
  1. It is important to separate clients according to age and illness to prevent the spread of disease.
  2. It is important to dispose blood-contaminated needles in the lead-lined container.
  3. I will notify the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) if a large number of persons with the same life-threatening infection present to the emergency room.
  4. I will initiate isolation precautions for a hospitalized client with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The CDC must be contacted to investigate the source of serious infections and to determine if a bioterrorist threat exists. Separating clients according to age and illness to prevent the spread of disease will do nothing to stop terrorism. Proper disposal of blood-contaminated needles in the sharps container and initiating isolation precautions for a hospitalized client with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are appropriate nursing actions but do not relate to bioterrorism.
