Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Gloves are required when providing denture care, but are not required for bathing the client. Whenever gloves are removed, the health care provider should perform hand hygiene. Gloves are removed before removing the gown. The nurse should not remove gloves until after measuring urine output and rinsing the measuring container and returning it to its storage location. Gloves should be worn when performing postmortem care, but a gown is generally not required.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

When caring for a terminal client who has a do-not-resuscitate order, the nurse might not need to assess vital signs when his condition changes if it will not impact the plan of care and death is imminent. In all of the other situations, vital signs should be measured.
