A nurse is serving on a committee that is developing infectious disease protocols. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the protocol for clients who have Clostridium difficile?

Answer Choices:

A. Use diluted bleach to clean soiled equipment ✓ Correct Answer

B. Provide a room with negative-pressure airflow.

C. Wear an N95 respirator when caring for the client.

D. Disinfect hands using an alcohol-based waterless antiseptic.

Correct Answer:

Use diluted bleach to clean soiled equipment

Rationale:

🧴The use of diluted bleach as a disinfectant is recommended for equipment and surfaces to effectively eradicate C. difficile spores.

🦠C. difficile is transmitted via contact, making strict contact precautions essential to prevent spread.

🔬C. difficile spores are highly resistant to alcohol-based sanitizers, rendering waterless antiseptic rubs ineffective.

🧼Soap-and-water handwashing is required to physically remove spores, as it’s more effective than alcohol-based products in this context.

📌Core Message

Use diluted bleach for environmental cleaning and perform soap-and-water hand hygiene under contact precautions to prevent C. difficile transmission.
