Answer to Question 1

D
When suctioning is completed, disconnect the catheter from the connecting tubing. Roll the catheter around the fingers of the dominant hand. Pull the glove off inside out so that the catheter remains coiled in the glove. Pull off the other glove over the first glove in the same way. Discard in an appropriate receptacle. The suction device should be turned off when suctioning is complete. There is no further need for suction. Remove the face shield and discard into an appropriate receptacle. Apply clean gloves to give personal care.
