Spiderman pneumonic?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi,

So I just have a question.

A lot of people are mentioing lately they have a ton of infection control on their nclex lately, and to memorize the spiderman pneumonic.

My question is I was doing practice questions and there was a question about pneumonia and I picked use a gown, gloves, and mask (for droplet precautions). There was a option to use a N-95 respirator, I did not pick it. However, the rational said you should pick it because you need to use everything you have available. Is this how it will be on the nclex?

Thanks! Also I'm taking it in 2 days so if you could respond by then! :)

From Kaplan Strategies, Practice, and Review:

ON

hand hygiene

gown

mask

goggles

gloves

OFF

gloves

goggles

mask

gown

hand hygiene

Kaplan has the wrong sequence for removing the PPE. If you look on the CDC website, in one of the PDF's , the sequence for removal is GOWN before MASK

It is called the "spider man mnemonic " because of the second group as listed below... ( it does repeat some of the letters in spider, it's just a way to help you remember. I hope that helps!!
