A nurse is helping another nurse fasten the knot of the cover gown before assisting a colleague with a dressing change. Which of the following advantages does a cover gown offer?
A) It decomposes easily with other biodegradable items.
B) Its snug-fitting wristbands avoid contaminating the forearms.
C) Its loose-fitting waist straps avoid contaminating the waist.
D) It is durable enough to be used for the duration of the nurse's shift.
B
Feedback:
The advantage of a cover gown is that its close-fitting wristbands help avoid contaminating the forearms. Cover gowns are not biodegradable; after use, they are laundered or incinerated. Cover gowns are never loose-fitting; instead, fasteners at the neck and waist keep the gown securely closed, thus covering all the wearer's clothing. A gown is never worn between contacts with more than one client.
