question: 33 of 70
a nurse is planning staff education on isolation precautions. which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

• \when donning personal protective equipment, gloves should be the last item you put on.\
• \use alcohol based hand rub when entering and exiting the room of a client who has clostridioides difficile.\
• \clean hands with a dilute ammonia solution if they have come in contact with body fluids.\
• \don gloves before touching clients to help prevent the spread of germs to the client.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

1. Donning PPE: Gloves are the last PPE item donned (after gown, mask, etc.), so this statement is correct.
2. C. difficile & Hand Hygiene: For C. difficile, soap - and - water handwashing (not alcohol - based rub) is needed as spores are resistant to alcohol. So this option is wrong.
3. Body Fluid Contact: Body fluid contact requires soap - and - water or appropriate disinfectant, not dilute ammonia. So this option is wrong.
4. Glove Use for Client Safety: Gloves are for protecting the nurse from client - borne pathogens, not primarily to prevent spreading to the client (hand hygiene is key for that). So this option is wrong.

Answer:

"When donning personal protective equipment, gloves should be the last item you put on."
