(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"]

E.

Choice A rationale:

Administering oxygen and mechanical ventilation is essential as EVD can cause respiratory distress and failure.

Choice B rationale:

Providing psychological support and counseling is important due to the emotional stress and fear associated with EVD.

Choice C rationale:

Performing blood transfusions and clotting factor administration are not typical interventions for EVD. It primarily affects the immune system and does not usually lead to widespread coagulation issues.

Choice D rationale:

Applying warm compresses to reduce fever can worsen the patient's condition by promoting viral replication. Fever reduction in EVD is managed with antipyretics.

Choice E rationale:

Monitoring organ function regularly is crucial because EVD can lead to organ failure, particularly liver and kidney dysfunction.
