Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The least amount of protective apparel that should be worn when drawing an arterial blood gas includes gloves and eye protection. In the case of a patient in isolation, a gown should be worn if there is a chance of splashing blood. Shoe covers are not necessary in areas outside of the operat-ing rooms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Airborne precautions should be used for patients who are known to have or who are suspected of having illnesses transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei, such as measles, varicella, or tuberculosis. Clostridium difficile and the herpes simplex virus require contact isolation, because they are transmitted by direct patient contact or by contact with items in the patient's environment. My-coplasma pneumoniae requires droplet precautions because it is spread by droplet transmission.
