Infection Control Quiz Questions and Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who needs a protective environment. The nurse has provided the care needed and is now leaving the room. In which order will the nurse remove the personal protective equipment, beginning with the first step?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: The first step in removing personal protective equipment (PPE) is to remove gloves to prevent contamination. Step 2: After removing gloves, the nurse can then proceed to remove other PPE items such as gown, eyewear, and face shield. Step 3: Removing gloves first minimizes the risk of transferring pathogens from contaminated gloves to other parts of the PPE or the nurse's skin. Step 4: This order of removal maintains proper infection control practices and reduces the risk of self-contamination. Removing gloves first is crucial in preventing the spread of infection. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct sequence for PPE removal, which could lead to contamination and compromise safety.
