personal protective equipment for use with standard precautions includes which items? select all that apply.
eye protection
disposable gloves
face mask
fluid - repellent gown
disposable head cover
disposable shoe covers

Explanation:

Personal protective equipment (PPE) for standard precautions aims to protect healthcare workers from exposure to potentially infectious materials. Eye protection (such as goggles or face shields) guards the eyes from splashes. Disposable gloves prevent contact with body fluids. A face mask (like a surgical mask) helps block respiratory droplets. A fluid - repellent gown protects the body from fluid splashes. While a disposable head cover and shoe covers are more commonly used in specific procedures (like surgeries in a sterile field) rather than as the core, universally required PPE for standard precautions. Standard precautions mainly focus on protecting mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth), hands, and the front of the body from fluid exposure.
