Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Gloves are not left on while taking off a soiled gown.
Rationale 2: The neck ties are untied after the ties at the waist are untied.
Rationale 3: To leave an isolation room where a gown has been worn, one must untie the gown at the waist first, not at the neck.
Rationale 4: To leave an isolation room where a gown has been worn, one must untie the gown at the waist first, not at the neck. After the neck ties are untied, the gown is allowed to fall forward.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: When a client has an airborne disease and must go elsewhere in the hospital, the client must wear a mask.
Rationale 2: Supplies to prevent transmission of disease should be stocked at the end of the shift so that adequate supplies will be available for the next health care provider.
Rationale 3: Hands should be washed before and after client care.
Rationale 4: The mask should be removed just as the staff leaves the client's room, not when coming out of the room.
