Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

All health care providers must apply PPE (clean or sterile gloves, gowns, masks, and protective eyewear) according to the risk of exposure to potentially infective materials. Sterile gloves and mask and eyewear may or may not be required, depending on the risk of exposure to potentially infective materials. Biohazardous waste is placed in a container with special labeling and may require the use of PPE, but not a biohazard suit.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

There would be no need for a nurse to wear protective equipment when sitting at the client's bedside conducting nutrition counseling. However, because of the client's extensive skin damage, gloves would be worn when bathing the client; gloves and gown would be worn when dressing the wounds due to the potential for contamination of the nurse's uniform; and gown, glove, and mask would be needed when debriding due to potential blood spatter.
