The nurse and a female unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for a group of clients on the medical floor. Which action by the UAP would warrant immediate intervention by the nurse?

ExplanationSoiled linen should be put in a plastic bag in the client’s room, not in the hallway. Specimens should be put in biohazard bags; the UAP should wash her hands with alcohol foam hand cleanser; and using a disposable stethoscope is an appropriate intervention.
