Answer to Question 1

D
The Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (2009) suggests that nurses report to em-ployee health services to seek medical treatment immediately if a reaction or dermatitis occurs. They are also advised to wear powder-free gloves whenever possible (they are lower in protein allergens), wear gloves only when indicated, wash with a pH-balanced soap immediately after removing gloves, and apply only nonoil-based hand care products (oil-based products break down latex allergens).

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse used critical thinking. Critical thinking involves recognizing that an issue (e.g., patient problem) exists, analyzing information related to the issue (e.g., clinical data about a patient), evaluating information (including assumptions and evidence), and drawing conclusions. Intuition is an inner sensing or gut feeling that something is so. Reflection is a part of critical thinking that involves the process of purposefully thinking back or recalling a situation to discover its purpose or meaning. Perseverance means to also keep looking for additional resources until you find a successful approach.
