When planning care for a client, the nurse uses which equipment?
1. Personal protective equipment
2. Sterile gloves
3. Biohazard suit
4. Mask and eyewear
Correct Answer: 1
All health care providers must apply PPE (clean or sterile gloves, gowns, masks, and protective eyewear) according to the risk of exposure to potentially infective materials. Sterile gloves and mask and eyewear may or may not be required, depending on the risk of exposure to potentially infective materials. Biohazardous waste is placed in a container with special labeling and may require the use of PPE, but not a biohazard suit.
