Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Inverting gloves traps pathogens inside, reducing contamination risk.
Question 2 of 5
He proposed the theory of morality based on PRINCIPLES
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: R.S. Peters' moral theory, from the 1960s, centers on principles like justice and honesty e.g., a nurse acts kindly out of habit.

Nurses recognize this critical level, triggering urgent cooling measures to prevent organ damage, per emergency protocols.
