Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Lathering the hands with the cleansing agent using friction is the best method to remove dirt and transient bacteria. Using hot water can dry out the skin and lead to infection. Although using plenty of lather with friction is important, this will not help in decreasing the visible dirt. Drying the hands vigorously from wrists to fingers helps keep skin intact but does nothing for visible dirt.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

There is no need to document use of personal protective equipment such as gloves or mask, as this is routine care when a client is in specific forms of protective isolation. However, the nurse should document what form of protective precautions is being observed.
