, "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.

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

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?
