Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nursing assistant recognizes that the client's immune system is compromised and that the client is prone to infections, such as pneumonia. The best intervention to take is to ask visitors with small children to see the nurse about visitation so that the client will not be exposed to illnesses that children often have. The client should wash hands with soap and water after using the bathroom. The client needs to have thoroughly cooked meats, and sushi is raw fish. The client should avoid crowded places.
