Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Nurses remove the garments that are most contaminated first, preserving the clean uniform underneath. Regardless of which garments they wear, nurses follow an orderly sequence for removing them. Washing hands before removing the contaminated gown or wiping the soiled surface of the gown is not part of the sequence of removing garments. Folding the soiled side of the gown to the inside before removing is not the first step in the orderly sequence.

Answer to Question 2

C
Do not store the aid in a warm place such as a windowsill or in a car. The heat can change the shape of the ear mold, causing the aid to not fit properly. Remove the battery from the hearing aid when it is not being used for a day or longer. Avoid dropping the aid or twisting the cord. Remove the aid before radiological examination or radiation therapy to avoid damage. Protect the aid from water, alcohol, aerosol sprays, perspiration, and cologne. Use the manufactur-er-recommended cleaning solution and a soft, lint-free cotton cloth to clean the ear mold.
