Wrong-answer review

• A. Use no PPE because the resident has no known infection, within the described operational context.: “Use no PPE because the resident has no known infection” is a weaker response because it breaks the clean-to-dirty sequence, hand-hygiene timing, or PPE selection used in Standard Precautions. The safer step prevents organisms from moving to the resident, aide, or environment.
• C. Wear gloves only after the vomiting stops, for the stated ii. promotion of safety (22%) requirement.: “Wear gloves only after the vomiting stops” misses the key distinction because it breaks the clean-to-dirty sequence, hand-hygiene timing, or PPE selection used in Standard Precautions. The safer step prevents organisms from moving to the resident, aide, or environment.
• D. Use another resident’s reusable gloves, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, as configured.: Choosing “Use another resident’s reusable gloves” would be inappropriate because it breaks the clean-to-dirty sequence, hand-hygiene timing, or PPE selection used in Standard Precautions. The safer step prevents organisms from moving to the resident, aide, or environment.
