Zorluk: OrtaAccident, Error, and Injury Prevention

Prior to entering the room of a client placed on strict airborne and contact precautions, a practical nurse must apply multiple layers of protective gear. Arrange the following actions in the correct sequence for safely donning the required personal protective equipment (PPE) from first to last.

  1. 1Perform thorough hand hygiene using an alcohol-based rub or soap and water.
  2. 2Put on the isolation gown and tie it securely at the neck and waist.
  3. 3Apply the N95 respirator and perform a user seal check.
  4. 4Place the face shield or goggles over the face and eyes.
  5. 5Put on clean gloves, extending the cuffs over the sleeves of the isolation gown.

Cevap

The correct sequence for donning PPE is to perform hand hygiene, put on the isolation gown, apply the N95 respirator, place the face shield or goggles, and finally don the clean gloves.
Following the standard CDC guidelines for donning PPE ensures that a continuous protective barrier is created systematically. Hand hygiene prevents initial contamination. The gown covers the largest surface area and goes on first. The respirator and eyewear protect the face and airway and are applied next. Finally, the gloves are applied last so they can successfully bridge the gap over the gown cuffs, completing the protective seal.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the need for hand hygiene as the foundational step.
Hand hygiene is placed first in the sequence.
Touching clean PPE with unwashed hands contaminates the equipment before it is even applied to the body.
2
Select the gown as the first physical piece of PPE to be applied.
The isolation gown is placed second.
The gown is the bulkiest item and protects the nurse's uniform, forming the base layer of the physical barrier.
3
Apply the respiratory protection next.
The N95 respirator is placed third.
Establishing a secure airway barrier is critical for airborne precautions. The mask must be applied before eyewear so the seal is flush against the face.
4
Add the eye protection.
The face shield or goggles are placed fourth.
Eyewear sits over the bridge of the nose and respirator to protect the mucous membranes of the eyes without breaking the respirator's seal.
5
Finish the barrier by applying gloves.
Donning clean gloves is placed last.
Gloves must go on last so the cuffs can be stretched over the sleeves of the gown, ensuring no skin on the wrists is exposed to the hazardous environment.
