Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Gloves are always removed first because they are the most soiled. If wearing a gown that is tied at the waist, the ties would be undone before removing the gloves, and then the gown and mask may be removed and hand hygiene should be performed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The pulse should be counted for 1 full minute when the client has an irregular heart rate in order to get an accurate reading.
