Zorluk: KolayStandard and Transmission-Based Precautions

A nurse is preparing to enter an isolation room that requires full personal protective equipment. Arrange the items in the correct sequence for donning (putting on) this equipment according to standard infection control guidelines.

  1. 1Put on the isolation gown and tie it securely.
  2. 2Place the surgical mask or respirator over the nose and mouth.
  3. 3Put on goggles or a face shield.
  4. 4Put on clean gloves and extend them over the gown cuffs.

Cevap

The correct sequence for donning full personal protective equipment is: Gown, Mask or Respirator, Goggles or Face Shield, and finally Gloves.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, the proper sequence for putting on (donning) personal protective equipment is: gown first, followed by the mask or respirator, then goggles or face shield, and finally gloves. This specific sequence is designed to maximize protection by securing the largest piece of equipment first and ensuring that the gloves can correctly overlap the gown cuffs to maintain an unbroken protective barrier over the wrists.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Put on the isolation gown.
The torso and clothing are protected.
The gown is the largest foundational piece of equipment and is put on first to secure it properly at the neck and waist.
2
Apply the mask or respirator.
The respiratory tract is protected.
Securing the mask before eye protection ensures a proper fit directly on the face and around the nose.
3
Put on eye protection.
The eyes are shielded from splashes or sprays.
Eye protection sits over the top edge of the mask, preventing gaps where droplets could enter.
4
Don clean gloves.
The hands are protected and the gown cuffs are sealed.
Gloves must be put on last so they can be pulled entirely over the wrists of the isolation gown, leaving no skin exposed.
