Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A nurse wears a gown primarily when the patient's blood or body fluids may contaminate their clothing, adhering to standard precautions for infection control.

Medication administration rarely involves fluid splash unless invasive (e.g., IV), not routine enough for gowns.

Fluid contact is the key trigger, as per CDC guidelines, ensuring nurse safety and preventing cross-contamination, making this the most precise scenario for gown use in clinical practice.
