Question 5 of 5
Which factor should a nurse prioritize when choosing a suitable patient gown?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ease of access for nursing procedures is the top priority when selecting a patient gown, as it ensures efficient care delivery such as wound checks, IV adjustments, or catheter management without compromising patient dignity or comfort. Aesthetic appeal might boost morale but doesn't impact functionality. The nurse's preference is irrelevant; the focus is on patient needs and workflow. Matching the patient's favorite color could enhance comfort emotionally, but it's secondary to practical considerations. Gowns with ties or openings are designed to balance accessibility with coverage, making this factor critical in a clinical setting where timely interventions can affect outcomes.
