Explanation:

• Clean gloves prevent contamination when in contact with potentially dirty items.
• In a surgical setting, sterile surgical masks are typically required, not N95 masks which are more for airborne - particle filtration in non - surgical high - risk situations.
• Prescription eyeglasses may not provide full protection against splashes or large particles, so they are not sufficient eye protection in most medical settings.
• When caring for a patient on droplet precautions, masks and eye protection help prevent the spread and acquisition of droplets.
• When there is potential contact with body fluids, covering eyes, mouth, and nose helps prevent exposure.

Answer:

• Clean gloves are used when contact with contaminated items is expected.
• Masks and eye protection are needed when caring for a patient on droplet precautions.
• Eyes, mouth, and nose must be covered when contact with body fluids is potential.
