(Select all that apply): A nurse is providing supportive and symptomatic treatment to a patient with Ebola virus disease (EVD) Which interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care? Select all that apply:

Correct Answer: ["A","B","E"]

Choice A rationale:

Administering oxygen and mechanical ventilation. This is correct. Supportive care for EVD may involve managing respiratory symptoms, including providing oxygen and mechanical ventilation if necessary.

Choice B rationale:

Providing psychological support and counseling. This is correct. EVD can be emotionally distressing for patients. Providing psychological support and counseling can help patients cope with the illness and its effects.

Choice C rationale:

Performing blood transfusions and clotting factor administration. While EVD can lead to clotting abnormalities, routine blood transfusions and clotting factor administration are not standard treatments for the disease.

Choice D rationale:

Applying warm compresses to reduce fever. While fever is a symptom of EVD, applying warm compresses is not recommended. Fever management should be under medical supervision.

Choice E rationale:

Monitoring organ function regularly. This is correct. EVD can lead to multi-organ dysfunction. Regular monitoring of organ function helps detect and manage potential complications.
