1. what should you do if when cleaning a room, you find an electrical cord that powers a piece of medical equipment running across the middle of the floor?

vacuum over the top of it
report it to the nurse
unplug the cord and move it out of the way
neatly coll it up and place it on the equipment

Explanation:

• For question 4: When cleaning a room of a C. diff patient with enteric precautions, gloves and a gown are needed. Gloves prevent hand contamination, and a gown protects the body from potential splashes or contact with contaminated surfaces. Goggles are not typically required for routine cleaning in this context. Just gloves are insufficient as the body also needs protection. A mask is not necessary for enteric precautions (which are mainly about fecal - oral transmission prevention and not airborne).
• For question 5: If an electrical cord powering medical equipment is found on the floor, it should be reported to the nurse. Vacuuming over it can damage the cord or cause tripping hazards. Unplugging and moving it can disrupt the equipment's operation (if it's in use). Neatly coiling and placing it on the equipment might not be appropriate without proper authorization as the equipment might need to be in a certain position.

Answer:

1. Gloves and gown
2. Report it to the nurse
