Zorluk: OrtaEmergency Response and Hazardous Materials

Following an accidental release of a hazardous, aerosolized cleaning chemical in a long-term care facility, a practical nurse (PN) prepares to enter the contaminated wing to help evacuate residents. Arrange the steps for donning the required personal protective equipment (PPE) in the correct chronological sequence.

  1. 1Perform thorough hand hygiene.
  2. 2Put on a protective gown and fasten all ties.
  3. 3Apply a fitted particulate respirator.
  4. 4Place protective goggles or a face shield over the eyes.
  5. 5Don protective gloves, pulling them over the gown cuffs.

Cevap

The correct sequence for donning PPE prior to entering a hazardous environment is to first perform hand hygiene, followed by putting on the gown, applying the respirator, placing the eye protection, and finally donning the gloves.
According to standardized safety guidelines for hazardous material and infection control, the proper donning sequence is designed to minimize contamination risk. The sequence is: hand hygiene, gown, mask/respirator, goggles/face shield, and gloves.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Perform thorough hand hygiene.
Hands are free of pathogens before touching clean equipment.
Starting with clean hands prevents the transfer of contaminants to the inside of the PPE during the donning process.
2
Put on a protective gown and fasten all ties.
The torso and arms are protected.
The gown covers the largest surface area and provides a primary barrier against chemical splashes.
3
Apply a fitted particulate respirator.
The respiratory tract is protected from aerosolized particles.
A secure seal must be established around the nose and mouth before adding other facial equipment that might interfere with the straps.
4
Place protective goggles or a face shield over the eyes.
The mucous membranes of the eyes are protected.
Eye protection is added over the respirator to ensure comprehensive facial coverage against chemical aerosols.
5
Don protective gloves, pulling them over the gown cuffs.
The hands and wrists are fully sealed and protected.
Gloves are placed last to ensure they remain as clean as possible for direct care tasks, and pulling them over the gown cuffs creates a continuous barrier.
