Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Global Rationale: The first item removed when coming out of an isolation room to prevent any exposure of the infectious materials is the gloves. The goggles, gown, and mask are then removed in this order.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The mask provides a better barrier when within 3 feet of a client who has droplet precautions. Airborne precautions often require the use of a specialized mask. Standard precautions are used for all clients. Contact precautions are specific to a certain body system or area of the body.
