Zorluk: KolayStandard and Transmission-Based Precautions

An agency nurse is getting ready to enter the room of a newly admitted pediatric client requiring full personal protective equipment (PPE). Arrange the steps for putting on the required PPE in the correct chronological sequence.

  1. 1Fasten the isolation gown securely at the neck and waist.
  2. 2Secure the surgical mask over the nose and mouth.
  3. 3Position the protective eyewear or face shield.
  4. 4Pull clean gloves over the edges of the gown sleeves.

Cevap

The correct sequence for donning full PPE is: Gown, Mask, Eyewear or Face shield, and finally Gloves.
According to standardized infection control guidelines from the CDC, the proper sequence for donning (putting on) personal protective equipment is to first apply the gown to cover the torso and arms. Next, the mask is secured to protect the respiratory tract, followed by goggles or a face shield to protect the eyes. Finally, the gloves are applied last so that the cuffs can be pulled securely over the sleeves of the isolation gown, ensuring continuous protection without gaps.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Don the isolation gown.
The nurse's torso and arms are protected.
Applying the gown first provides the largest area of coverage before securing smaller facial items.
2
Apply the surgical mask.
The respiratory tract is protected.
The mask must be secured before eye protection to ensure a proper fit over the bridge of the nose.
3
Put on protective eyewear or a face shield.
The mucous membranes of the eyes are protected.
Eyewear easily fits over the top edge of the mask.
4
Don clean gloves.
The hands and wrists are protected.
Gloves go on last so they can be pulled tightly over the gown's cuffs to prevent skin exposure.
