The nurse, caring for a patient in the burn center, will not need to wear which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment?
1. gloves
2. gown
3. mask
4. goggles
4
Rationale: Goggles are needed to protect health care workers from having blood or body fluids splash in their eyes, which is not a risk when caring for burn patients. So, goggles are not required when caring for burn patients. Since patients with major burns have a high risk of infection and sepsis, gloves, gown, and masks should be worn when caring for this patient.
