In the palm of one hand:

product to the palm of one hand. This helps to ensure that the product will cover all the surfaces when
the product is rubbed in. The nurse would rub the hands together, covering all surfaces of hands and
fingers, between fingers as well as the fingertips and the area beneath the fingernails. It would be
inappropriate to apply the product to each fingertip, on the back of the hand, or between each finger. -

"I am required to wear a gown for certain infections that are easily passed to others."
The client needs a matter-of-fact response that does not make him or her feel dirty, guilty, or
confused. The nurse teaches the client in a direct way that some infections are easier to spread,
making additional precautions necessary for everyone's protection. It is dismissive to say it is policy or
just that there i - ✔✔The client asks the nurse why the nurse wears a disposable gown every time
she enters the client's room. What is the nurse's best response?
1)Unfasten the ties.
2)Touching only the inside of the gown, pull away from the torso.
3)Keeping hands on the inner surface of the gown, pull gown from arms.
4)Turn gown inside out.
5)Fold or roll the gown into a bundle.
6)Discard the gown. - ✔✔Place in correct order the steps for removing a gown. Use all options.
When removing a gown, the nurse first unfastens the ties at the neck and back, and then allows the
gown to fall away from the shoulders. Touching only the inside of the gown, the nurse pulls the gown
away from the torso. Keeping the hands on the inner surface of the gown, the nurse pulls the gown
from the arms, turns it inside out, and folds or rolls it into a bundle to be discarded. - ✔✔The nurse is
%
removing a gown after providing care to a client. Which action would the nurse take first?
Remind the health care provider about the transmission precautions.
It is best to directly and immediately address the issue with the health care provider. The nurse may
suggest that additional precautions are taken prior to entering the client's room, but really can't insist,
and hand hygiene is expected for every client. The charge nurse or supervisor can intervene,
following the chain of command, if the health care provider does not take corrective action. - ✔✔The
nurse notes that a health care provider failed to observe transmission precautions in a client's room
and is entering another client's room. What is the nurse's next action?
Wear a face shield as part of the protective equipment.
The nurse would not delay care due to a lack of goggles. The acceptable alternate is a face shield,
which is a mask with a clear plastic covering for the eyes. If goggles are needed, the nurse would not
enter the room without eye covering unless there was an emergent reason to do so. However, it is not
correct to delay care until goggles can be obtained. This can take quite a long time. Even if the
goggles can be supplied soon, the nurse can easily locate and use a face shield. - ✔✔The nurse
prepares to enter a client's room where goggles are required but are not available. Which action by
the nurse is best?
