Zika virus
Zika virus ( 16 Questions)
Isolating the client in a negative pressure room is not necessary for Zika virus, as it is not primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets. Isolation is not a standard precaution for this infection.
There is no specific antiviral medication for treating Zika virus infection, so administering antiviral medication is not the appropriate intervention.
Providing supportive care for symptoms is important, but the most appropriate nursing intervention to prevent further transmission of the virus is educating the client about mosquito bite prevention. By using mosquito repellents, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating breeding sites, the client can reduce the risk of further transmission to others and protect themselves from additional mosquito bites.
