💧 Increase your daily fluid intake — This is correct because dehydration contributes to constipation, and adequate fluids help soften stool and promote bowel movements.

💧 Try to defecate at different times of the day — This is incorrect because establishing a regular bowel routine, often after meals, is more effective.

💧 Consume a low-fiber diet — This is incorrect because constipation is best managed with a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains).

💧 Reduce your daily activity — This is incorrect because increasing physical activity stimulates peristalsis and helps relieve constipation.

🩺 The gallbladder has become inflamed due to a build-up of gallstones that are blocking the common bile duct — This is correct because gallstones (cholelithiasis) can obstruct the cystic duct or common bile duct, leading to inflammation (cholecystitis), pain, and need for surgical removal.

🩺 The gallbladder has become blocked by a tumor and is no longer working — This is incorrect because the cause here is gallstones, not a tumor.

🩺 The gallbladder has become inflamed due to the cholesterol in the gallstones — This is partly true since gallstones are often cholesterol-based, but the inflammation results from obstruction, not the cholesterol itself.

🩺 The gallbladder became infected by a virus and needs to be removed — This is incorrect because gallbladder issues are not caused by viruses.

💊 Encourage the client to sit in the chair for all meals — This is correct because getting out of bed promotes mobility, circulation, lung expansion, digestion, and helps prevent complications such as pressure injuries, pneumonia, and venous thromboembolism.

💊 Instruct the client to wear a hospital gown every day, even when out of bed — This is incorrect because clothing choice does not affect immobility complications.

💊 Have the client remain in bed for self-care activities — This is incorrect because prolonged bed rest increases the risk of immobility complications.

💊 Elevate the head of the bed to 30° to 45° for medication administration — This helps with aspiration prevention during meds, but it does not address overall immobility complications.

✔ “Discard your mask after each use.” — This is correct because medical masks are single-use and should be disposed of after each patient encounter to prevent cross-contamination.

✔ “Remove your mask prior to removing your gloves.” — This is incorrect; gloves should be removed first, then the mask, to reduce contamination risk.

✔ “Position the mask on your face with the flexible metal piece at the bottom.” — This is incorrect; the metal strip should be at the top so it can be molded over the bridge of the nose for a proper fit.

✔ “Touch the front of your mask while wearing it.” — This is incorrect because the front of the mask is contaminated; touching it increases infection risk.

Contact — This is correct because MRSA is transmitted primarily through direct contact with contaminated surfaces, wounds, or hands. Contact precautions require gloves, gown, and dedicated equipment to prevent spread.

🦠 Protective — This is incorrect because protective (reverse) isolation is for immunocompromised patients to protect them from outside infections, not for MRSA carriers.

🦠 Airborne — This is incorrect because MRSA does not spread through small airborne particles like tuberculosis or measles.

🦠 Droplet — This is incorrect because droplet precautions are for large-particle respiratory infections (e.g., influenza, meningitis), not MRSA.
