Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Administering parenteral medications requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 2: Changing a dressing requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 3: Performing a urinary catheterization requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 4: Using personal protective equipment demonstrates medical asepsis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Disinfecting an item is an example of medical asepsis, not surgical asepsis.
Rationale 2: If sterile gloved hands fall below the waist, they are considered to be unsterile.
Rationale 3: Suctioning the oral cavity of a client is considered contaminating.
Rationale 4: Touching only the inside surface of the first glove while pulling it onto the hand is the correct technique when applying sterile gloves. This prevents contamination of the outside of the glove, which must remain sterile.
