Zorluk: KolayStandard and Transmission-Based Precautions

Upon completing client care in an airborne infection isolation room, a nurse prepares to remove personal protective equipment (PPE). The nurse is currently wearing an N95 respirator, an isolation gown, and gloves. Which action represents the correct procedure for removing the N95 respirator?

  1. Remove the respirator after exiting the client's room and closing the door.Cevap
  2. B
    Remove the respirator immediately after taking off the gloves inside the room.
  3. C
    Remove the respirator at the same time as the isolation gown before leaving the room.
  4. D
    Remove the respirator before taking off the soiled gloves and gown.

Cevap

The respirator must be removed after exiting the client's room and closing the door.
The correct answer describes removing the respirator after exiting the client's room and closing the door. Because airborne pathogens are small enough to remain suspended in the air, the nurse must maintain continuous respiratory protection until completely outside of the contaminated environment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the transmission risk associated with the precaution type.
Airborne precautions indicate that infectious particles remain suspended in the air of the patient's room.
Understanding how the pathogen spreads dictates how and where respiratory protection should be handled.
2
Recall the standardized sequence for doffing (removing) PPE.
The most contaminated items (gloves and gown) are removed inside the room, while respiratory protection (N95) is removed last.
This sequence minimizes self-contamination during the removal process.
3
Determine the safe location for respirator removal.
The N95 respirator is only removed after leaving the isolation room and ensuring the door is closed.
Removing the mask outside the room ensures the nurse does not inhale any infectious airborne particles that are still circulating in the client's environment.
