Published

Please I need some help, I'm tesing on May 21 a lil lost after looking at the correct answer..I was doing qustions from the the book

called "MASTER THE NCLEX PN" practice test two on page 368 #8. heres the question

A Nurse has just examined a client in a contact isolation room. Upon leaving the room,the nurse must be sure to remove her protective wear in the correct order. Place the following

steps in the correct from first piece to last.

1.Remove eyewear

2.remove mask

3.remove gloves

4.remove gown

My answer was remove the most contamined first.. #3gloves #1eyewear #4gown #2mask

well i was completely wrong and had a look on my face like :uhoh3: wat da....

answer was 1,3,2,4.

When leaving an isolation room, a health-care professional first removes eyewear.Then he or she unties the gown at the waist and remove the gloves without allowing hands to touch external surface.He or She then unties mask strings and removes and discard the mask.Finally the HC-P unties the the gown neck strings,allows the gown to fall from the

shoulder on and on and on........

could you help me out could the book be wrong???

According to CDC (Center for Disease Control) the order of removing PPE is:

1) gloves

2) protective glasses

3) gown

4) mask

Review books can be misleading in some occasion. Do your research when in doubt.
