A. Wear a mask when working within 3 feet of the client
B. Administer metronidazole
C. Don protective eyewear before entering the room
D. Place the client in a negative airflow room
✅ Correct Answer: A. Wear a mask when working within 3 feet of the client

3 feet. Negative airflow rooms are for airborne pathogens like TB.
4. Restraint Application
Question:
A nurse obtains a prescription for wrist restraints for a client who is trying to pull out his
NG tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
A. Attach the restraints securely to the side rails of the client’s bed

C. Allow room for two fingers to fit between the client’s skin and the restraints
D. Remove the restraints every 4 hours
✅ Correct Answer: C. Allow room for two fingers to fit between the client’s skin and
the restraints
Rationale: Proper restraint technique includes allowing space for circulation—typically
two fingers’ width. Restraints should never be tied to side rails.
