Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In the closed gloving method, no bare skin is exposed in the process of gloving because the bare hands do not extend through the cuffs of the gown. The closed gloving method is the preferred method for establishing the sterile field by the scrub person. It affords assurance against contamination when donning gloves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Eyewear, mask, hair cover, shoe covers, gown, apron, and/or gloves worn to prevent airborne, droplet, or contact-based transmission of potentially hazardous substances or microorganisms between caregiver and patient are all PPE. The type of PPE worn depends on the type of exposure that will be encountered. The PPE prevents blood and other potentially injurious materials from reaching clothing, skin, or eyes.
