Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 1505 of 2368
A client on transmission-based precautions has few visitors and has become lethargic and disoriented. Which intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care?
- Provide a clock and calendar and open the window curtains
- Keep the room dim and the door closed
- Limit visits from family members
- Cluster care to reduce time spent in the room
Show answer
Correct answer: Provide a clock and calendar and open the window curtains
These signs suggest sensory deprivation. Orientation aids, light, visitors, and more time with the client help prevent it.
