Question

After seven days of inpatient care, Rudy is apyretic and his other symptoms have improved. Fortunately, his treatment did not require mechanical ventilator support. Nasopharyngeal testing indicates that he is no longer shedding the virus, and the provider has cleared him for discharge. However, the latest guidelines from the state Department of Health indicate that Rudy must self-isolate for at least 14 days after the onset of symptoms. Because he lacks adequate housing, the county services personnel have arranged for Rudy to stay in a hotel. He will be given a mask and a paper bag in which to store the mask while not in use. His discharge instructions include monitoring for a recurrence of symptoms, staying in the hotel room, cleaning "high touch" surfaces, laundry procedures, and hand hygiene. Which method of teaching hand hygiene is most effective for this client? Teach-back Demonstration Showing a video Providing a pamphlet.
