  4. D

Cevap

The correct sequence for donning PPE is to put on the gown first, followed by the surgical mask, then the face shield, and finally the gloves.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the proper sequence for donning PPE begins with the gown to protect the torso and clothing. Next, the mask or respirator is applied to protect the respiratory tract. Third, goggles or a face shield are put on to protect the eyes and mucous membranes. Finally, clean gloves are donned last, ensuring they extend over the cuffs of the gown for complete, overlapping coverage.

A gown, surgical mask, face shield, and gloves are needed.
To protect the nurse from infectious microorganisms spread by direct contact and respiratory droplets.
2
Determine the correct donning sequence according to standard infection control guidelines.
