Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,1,3,5,4

The first step of the process is to open the sterile glove wrapper while the hands are covered by the sleeves of the gown. Next, with the dominant hand, pick up the opposite glove with the thumb and index finger, handling it through the sleeve. The third step is to use the nondominant hand to grasp the cuff of the glove through the gown cuff, and firmly anchor it. The fourth step is to place the fingers of the gloved hand under the cuff of the remaining glove. Finally, the nurse will extend the fingers into the glove and pull the glove up over the cuff.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

This client would be classified as experiencing higher brain death or cerebral death because the heart is still breathing and oxygen needs are met by the mechanical ventilator. Heart-lung death is when the heart stops beating and the client no longer is breathing. Higher cerebral brain death is a specific classification of death. A persistent vegetative state indicates the loss of cognitive function and awareness, but complete and irreversible loss of the cerebral cortex has not occurred.
