A child becomes neutropenic and is placed on protective isolation. The purpose of protective isolation is to:

  1. Protect the child from infection
  2. Provide the child with privacy
  3. Protect the family from curious visitors
  4. Isolate the child from other clients and the nursing staff

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

(A) The child no longer has normal white blood cells and is extremely susceptible to infection. (B) There are more appropriate ways to provide privacy, and there is no need to protect the child from healthy visitors. (C) Visitors and visiting hours may be at the client's and/or family's request without regard to the isolation precaution. (D) The child may have strong positive relationships with other clients or staff. As long as proper precautions are observed, there is no reason to isolate her from them.

A 9-month-old infant was diagnosed with nonorganic failure to thrive. During her hospitalization, primary nurses were assigned to initiate all infant feedings. The infant's parents question why they cannot feed their own child. Which of the following responses would be most appropriate by the nurse?

  1. By assigning the same nurses to the child, the nurses can begin to learn the infant's cues and feeding behaviors.
  2. The same nurses will prevent parental fatigue and frustration.
  3. The same nurses will prevent infant fatigue and frustration.
  4. Primary nurses will ensure privacy.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

(A) Consistent primary care nurses can better interpret infant cues and note feeding behaviors. (B) In nonorganic failure to thrive the parent-infant dyad has already experienced difficulties in the relationship. These parents may already feel dissatisfied and frustrated. The primary nurse would be unable to prevent this. (C) Assigning a primary nurse does not ensure that infant fatigue and frustration will not occur or can be prevented. (D) Providing privacy does not ensure a change in feeding behavior.
