blood splash when caring for a patient?

A. Gown
B. Gown and gloves
C. Gown, gloves, and mask
D. Gown, gloves, mask, and eye protection - answer D. Gown, gloves, mask, and
eye protection
Rationale: Wearing a gown, gloves, mask, and eye protection is the correct PPE to don.

What will the nurse do first when preparing to apply personal protective equipment
(PPE) before caring for a patient in isolation?

A. Perform hand hygiene
B. Put on the gown
C. Put on clean gloves
D. Apply eyewear - answer A. Perform hand hygiene
Rationale: Before applying PPE, the nurse should perform hand hygiene.

The nurse is discussing the guidelines for proper use of PPE by nursing assistive
personnel (NAP). Which statement made by the NAP requires follow-up by the nurse?

B. "I really dislike wearing a mask, so it's the first thing I take off."
C. "I always do hand hygiene when entering and leaving a patient's room."
D. "I wear a mask whenever I am caring for a patient who's coughing." - answer B. "I
really dislike wearing a mask, so it's the first thing I take off."
Rationale: This statement requires follow-up because the gloves should be removed

the face.

patient in isolation, why does the nurse avoid touching the outside of the gown?
