Which of the following measures must be considered when working with a patient specimen in formaldehyde?
  1. Keeping the specimen in enclosed quarters.
  2. Wearing gloves at all times when working with the substance.
  3. Monitoring formaldehyde exposure once per year.
  4. Both A and B
Explanation
Answer: B-When working with a specimen contained in formaldehyde, the nurse should wear gloves at all times. Formaldehyde can be very strong and wearing gloves prevents exposure to the skin and potential irritation. The area where the specimen is located should maintain proper ventilation and respiratory exposure to formaldehyde should be monitored on a regular basis.
