Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Once the hands have been placed below the waist, they can longer be considered sterile or free from organisms. Asepsis refers to freedom from disease-causing contamination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When removing PPE, gloves, which are contaminated, are removed first to prevent contamination of the face and eyes during removal of the mask and to prevent spread of microorganisms. Eyewear should then be removed, followed by the gown and finally the mask.
