BCEN CEN Practice Question

An emergency nurse identifies a patient with a high fever, a rash that started on the face and spread to the trunk, and Koplik spots inside the mouth. Recognizing these symptoms as indicative of a reportable disease, what is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take in accordance with mandatory reporting protocols?

  • Delay reporting until the patient has been discharged to reduce patient alarm.

  • Notify only the hospital's infection control department.

  • Report the suspected case to the local or state health department.

  • Wait to report until after laboratory confirmation of the disease.
