A nursing assistant will be changing the soiled bed linens of a client with a draining pressure ulcer. Which of the following protective equipment should the nursing assistant wear?
  1. Mask
  2. Clean gloves
  3. Sterile gloves
  4. Shoe protectors
Explanation
Answer: B - Clean gloves protect the hands and wrists from microorganisms in the linens. Sterile gloves allow one to touch a sterile object or area without contaminating it. A mask protects the wearer and client form droplet nuclei and large particle aerosols. Shoe protectors prevent static and microorganism transmission from the floor of one room to another.
