"Eliminate sources of standing water." B. "Make sure your immunizations are up to date." C. "Keep all of your pets indoors." D. "Spray insect nests with a repellant that contains DEET." - A is correct Standing water provides an environment for mosquitoes to lay eggs. Therefore, clients should empty water from flower pots, pet food and water dishes, birdbaths, swimming pool covers, buckets, barrels, and cans at least once per week. Discarded tires and other items that collect water should be disposed of. b. There is no known immunization against the West Nile virus; therefore, clients should be educated about other prevention measures. c. West Nile virus is not transmitted through pets, but can be transmitted from person to person through blood products, breast milk, or organ transplantation. d. West Nile virus can be transmitted when an infected mosquito bites a human to take in blood. Diethyltoluamide (DEET) is the most effective and best-studied insect repellent available. Studies using humans and mosquitoes report that only products containing DEET offer long-lasting protection after a single application; however, DEET only repels, it does not kill. There would be no benefit to spraying DEET anywhere except on the human body or clothing. A nurse is performing a community assessment in a rural setting.
