Just a couple questions I want to verify before I take my test...

Published

1. For contact precautions, do you keep the door open or shut?

2. For droplet precautions, are goggles used along with mask, gown, and gloves?

3. Is weight gain involved with left sided or right sided heart failure?

I was alittle confused with these as I was studying.

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you allnurses.:redbeathe

1.for contact a private room is required but the door does not have to be closed.

2. for droplet a surgical mask is required and PPE according to the procedure done.

3. weight gain deal with right side heart failure.

Specializes in ER, progressive care.

regarding heart failure, just think Left side heart failure = Lungs, so you'll see dyspnea, hear crackles, etc. And then right side heart failure is the other one lol
