A nurse educator is teaching nursing students about the application of personal protective equipment (PPE) and emphasizes the importance of appropriate technique when removing the face mask

Which student response indicates appropriate understanding?
A) "I will touch the mask by the strings only."
B) "I will bend the strip at the top of the mask."
C) "I will tie the strings in a bow."
D) "I will loop the ties over the ears."


Answer: A

Touching the mask by the strings for both putting it on and taking it off is the appropriate intervention because the mask is contaminated. Bending the strip at the top of the mask, looping the ties over the ears, and tying the strings in a bow under the chin are all interventions used when applying a mask.
