Question

3 contact isolation meant more than just wearing gloves. ryan and andrea carefully put on gowns, gloves, masks, and face shields before entering the patients room. all medical equipment used in leos care had to stay inside the room and be thoroughly disinfected after each use. nothing could be taken out without cleaning to avoid contamination. q: in order to avoid contamination what does ryan need to remove in the correct order and then sanitize his hands thoroughly? 4 later that day, the lab confirmed the presence of mrsa in leos wound. andrea made sure the isolation signs on the door were clear and visible to everyone. she also checked the ppe (personal protection equipment) cart and restocked what was missing. the donning (the act of putting on ppe correctly) and doffing (the safe removal of contaminated ppe) stations were clearly marked to help staff follow safety protocols. q: which piece of equipment does andrea sanitize between uses to prevent infection?

Explanation:

For the first question, in medical contact - isolation, the correct order of removing PPE to avoid contamination and then sanitize hands is usually face - shield, mask, gown, gloves. For the second question, in a medical setting to prevent infection, all medical equipment used for a patient with a contagious condition like MRSA should be sanitized between uses. But the text specifically mentions all medical equipment used in Leo's care had to be disinfected after each use.

Answer:

1. Face - shield, mask, gown, gloves
2. All medical equipment used in Leo's care
